Abstract
Mycotic infections have become a major cause of morbidity and mortality in clinically debilitated or
immunocompromised patients. The co-existence of Candida species within humans either as commensals or pathogens
has been subject of interest. The genus candida includes several species,C. albicans is by farthe most common species
causing infections in humans. The emergence of non-albicans Candida species as significant pathogens has however been
well recognized during the past decade. Although they are closely related they differ from each other with respect to
epidemiology, virulence characteristics, and antifungal susceptibility. This review provides an overview of the reliable
methods forcandidal isolation and identification of isolates from the oral cavity.
