Abstract:Introduction: Candida spp. are considered as opportunistic pathogens because they posses many virulence factors which contributes in the pathogenesis of Candida infections. The virulence of Candida spp. is attributed to certain factors like biofilm formation, and the production of hydrolytic enzymes.
