Abstract: The incidence of the species Candida albicans and non-albicans Candida was evaluated in a Brazilian Tertiary Hospital from the environment and health practitioners. In a 12-month period we had a total positivity of 19.65% of Candida spp. The most recurring non-albicans Candida species was C. glabrata (37.62%), generally considered a species of low virulence, but with a higher mortality rate than C. albicans. Subsequently, C. parapsilosis (25.74%) and C. tropicalis (16.86%) were the second and third most common… Show more

“…in the oral cavity was also found in a group of children of a school from different socioeconomic status without candidiasis lesions, in which C. albicanswas the prevailing specie, corresponding to 95% of all the isolates (Moreira et al, 2001). Yeasts of Candida play an extremely important role in high frequent infections and colonization in humans (Moris et al, 2008;Lass-Flörl, 2009;Savastano et al, 2016). These findings agrees with the reported by several authors related to the colonization prevalence of C. albicans over other species in the oral cavity, and consequently on the subsequent candidiasis development (Moreira et al, 2001;Grimoud et al, 2003;Naglik et al, 2003;Moris et al, 2008;Moyes and Naglik, 2011).…”

“…The most frequent isolated specie was again C. albicans, found in 51.4% of the patients. C. albicansis without a doubt the most frequently isolated specie in both superficial and invasive infections from different anatomic sites, and the most common cause of candidiasis and candidemia worldwide (Moris et al, 2008;Hinrichsen et al, 2009;Savastano et al, 2016).…”
