Abstract

The authors describe the mechanism of adherence of Candida cells to biological and non-biological materials and the effect exerted on this property by various factors. They explain the importance of adherence capacity of Candida for the pathogenesis of mucosal, skin, disseminated, invasive infections, for Candida sepsis and Candida endocarditis. They describe methods which determine the adherence capacity of Candida and therapeutic and preventive possibilities of candidiasis by blocking adherence.
