Research progress on the interaction between Candida albicans and common bacteria / 国际生物医学工程杂志

ABSTRACT

Candida albicans is the most prevalent fungal species of the human microbiota.Many nosocomial Candida albicans infections are polymicrobial.The interaction between Candida albicans and other bacteria can be synergistic,antagonistic,and one side benefit,which cause damage of host in different way.Co-infections influence the biochemistry and polybiofilm among pathogenic microorganisms,and then change the drug resistance,response host immunity,and virulence.This makes co-infections more difficult to be cured than mono-infections.The coinfection of Candida albicans and other bacteria has a high incidence rate and mortality rate,which is a serious problem faced by clinicians.The mechanism of interaction between Candida albicans and other bacteria has an important significance in diagnosis and co-infection treatment.In this paper,the research progress of interaction between Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Streptococcus mutans,as well as Lactobacilli was reviewed.
