Candida infections are becoming increasingly important in compromised hosts. The pathogenic Candida species vary in their ability to adhere to mucosal and other surfaces and there is a clear correlation between adhesion and virulence. Adhesion mechanisms of the most pathogenic species, Candida albicans, are being studied in detail.
念珠菌感染在免疫功能低下的宿主中变得越来越重要。致病性念珠菌物种在粘附于粘膜和其他表面的能力上有所不同，并且粘附与毒力之间存在明显的相关性。最具致病性的白色念珠菌的粘附机制正在被详细研究。
