Abstract:

Adhesion genes represent a crucial gene family in Candida albicans infection and biofilm formation, serving a dual functional role. On the one hand, they act as “initiators” for infection and colonisation; on the other hand, they function as “architects” of the drug-resistant microenvironment. During biofilm formation, the expression of adhesion genes facilitates the construction of complex biofilm structures, including extracellular matrix formation and hyphal differentiation. This review examines the pathogenicity and regulatory mechanisms of several adhesion-associated glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored cell wall proteins, providing insights for identifying novel antimicrobial drug targets and therapeutic approaches.

Key words: Candida albicans, Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored cell wall protein, Adhesion
