Abstract:Fungos do gênero Candida fazem parte da microbiota do trato gastrointestinal e genitourinário e demais superfícies do homem. Alterações das barreiras teciduais, da própria microbiota ou da resposta imune promovem um desequilíbrio na relação hospedeiro-parasita, permitindo a invasão do microrganismo nos tecidos do hospedeiro, causando infecções denominadas de candidíases (DRAGO et al., 2000; CALDERONE e FRONZI, 2001; BERMAN e SUDBERY, 2002; JIN et al., 2004; SILVA et al., 2008; HASAN et al., 2009).
