Abstract: Candida albicans is the most important opportunistic fungus. As the first choice to treat the infection, azole is widely used, but the resistance to azole is more and more common. In the lately years, researchers have focused on the mechanism of azole resistance and biofilm formation. This review summarizes the research advance of biofilm.

Key words: Candida albicans, Azole, Resistance mechanism, Biofilm
