Abstract
In this review we show how the application of molecular biology has improved our understanding of the epidemiology of candidiasis and the role of certain virulence factors in the pathogenesis of this important infection, opening up new approaches to prevention and treatment.
La candidose est actuellement une des causes les plus banales d'infection systémique pouvant engager le pronostic vital, et, parallèlement, la compréhension de son épidémiologie et de sa pathogenèse est en progression, pour une grande part gr^ace à l'application des techniques de la biologie moléculaire.
