Candida tropicalis is a common species related to nosocomial infections, namely candidemia and candiduria. Several virulence factors seem to be responsible for C. tropicalis infections, which present high potential for dissemination and mortality. Adhesion to surfaces (medical devices and host cells) and biofilm formation, are considered important factors that contribute to the development of candidosis. Further, adhesion and invasion of host cells by C. tropicalis is considered the first step to initiate systemic infections. Once adhered to epithelium, C. tropicalis are able to secrete...
