Abstract：Candida albicans is the most common human opportunistic fungal pathogen which have to cope with mechanical (e.g., epithelial) barriers,biochemical,chemical,and physical antagonists (e.g.,bile,mucus,pH),and the innate and adaptive immune system of thehost during its invading.Candida albicans's biochemistry,morphology flexibility and the ability to escape the host innate immunity plays crucial pathogenic roles.In this review we present an update on current understanding of the molecular mechanisms of infection of this pathogen in order to provide the reference to further explore new drugs.
