Abstract
Investigative efforts toward understanding the basic biology of Candida species, primarily Candida albicans, have increased in recent years. Not only do significant clinical questions exist concerning colonization versus infection of mucosal surfaces, pathogenesis, virulence characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of deep-seated disease, and epidemiology, but also, developmental components and control of C. albicans morphogenesis remain undefined (Odds, 1988; Graybill, 1990).
