چکیده
Candidiasis is the commonest fungal disease in human being. The causative agent of the disease is Candida albicans and nonalbicans Candida. Candida has 163 acknowledged anamorphic species, present on the different habitat out of which following species are C. albicans, C. tropicalis, C. krusei, C. glabrata, C. guilliermondii, C. parapsilosis, C. lusitaniae, C. kefyr, C. rugosa, C. dubliniensis and C. viswanathii known to causing disease in human beings. The virulence factors of the C. albicans have the great role in the pseudohyphae formation by attached with epithelial cells and endothelial cells. Now a day various techniques like PCR, Candida Detection System, CAND-TEC and Dot Immunobinding Assay are available for detection of candidiasis from various clinical samples.
