Abstract:

Candida albicans can form biofilms on medical implant materials, leading to high mortality infection.Mature biofilm related C.albicans infections are difficult to cure because of multi-drug resistance.This review discusses the resistance mechanisms of biofilm related C.albicans from efflux pump genes and matrix and stress response, summarizing the research advance of the mechanism and providing reference for clinical prevention strategies.

Key words: Candida albicans, biofilm, resistance mechanism, matrix
