Immunological Interaction Between the Host and Candida Albicans Biofilm

Immunological and Molecular Interaction Between the Host and Candida Albicans Biofilm

Candida albicans is one of the most common nosocomial infection and the onset relies on the host immune status. The purpose of this study is to determine the immunological profile of patients infected with Candida albicans, that could ideally lead to a strategy to identify patients who could benefit from prophylaxis.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients infected with Candida albicans
• Patients not infected with Candida albicans

Exclusion Criteria:

• Underage patients
• Non consenting patients
• Unconscious patients
