Abstract:

Candida albicans is one of the most prevalent commensal species of human microbiota, which can be detected in the oral cavity of 30%-50% healthy adults. However, it is also an opportunistic pathogen that can cause severe skin, mucosal or bloodstream infections. The impact of C. albicans typically depends on its interaction with bacteria. For example, together with other bacteria, C. albicans can participate in the development of caries, denture stomatitis and mucosal infections. Therefore, in this review, the interactions between C. albicans and common oral bacteria and the possible mechanisms are summarised, thereby providing novel ideas on the clinical prevention and treatment of common oral diseases.

Key words: Candida albicans, oral diseases, cross-kingdom interaction
