Medical mycology, 2005•Taylor & FrancisThe development of a useful Candida vaccine is a distinct possibility despite the fact that
individuals with a lifetime of commensal sensitization do not develop sterile immunity to the
organism. An effective Candida vaccine would be invaluable in preventing hematogenously
disseminated candidiasis, as well as mucocutaneous disease. This review is a discussion of
our current understanding of the interplay between commensal and pathogenic forms of
Candida albicans and approaches toward active and passive immunoprevention against …
