摘要
Candida species are considered as the most important fungal human pathogens, causing a variety of clinical entities, ranging from superficial, cutaneous-mucosal to deep-seated and disseminated infections. A vast body of scientific literature, has been accumulated on these pathogens. A review of the literature and topics for further research are discussed.
