| Abstract | Background The candiduria can be defined as the observation of yeasts in urine examination [1]. The ability of yeast to adhere, to infect and cause the disease in the set is defined as a potential virulence or pathogenicity [2]. Virulence factors expressed by Candida species may vary depending on the type of infection, the location and the stage of the infection, and the nature of the host response. The production of proteases and phospholipases enzymes and biofilm production of some virulence factors are expressed by the Candida species that degrade host tissues [3]. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the production of proteinase, phospholipase and biofilms of Candida species isolated from patients at the university hospital in Dourados MS. |
