ABSTRACT
The species of the Candida genus are opportunistic pathogenic fungi found in humans and are responsible for â¼80% of worldwide fungal infections. Aimed at diminishing and preventing Candida adhesion to cells or implanted devices in the human host, a large diversity of materials has been developed and functionalized that have attracted much interest. Furthermore, these materials have been focused almost exclusively on Candida albicans, followed by C. glabrata, C. parapsilosis, and C. tropicalis. Although an important diversity of materials has been synthesized to prevent adherence and formation of biofilms by Candida species, it is however important to evaluate the capacity of each material in terms of its property to diminish the adherence of Candida. These materials are discussed in this review.
