ResumenCandida albicans is a commensal of the mammalian microbiome and the primary pathogenic fungus of humans. It becomes a severe health problem in immunocompromised patients and can cause a wide variety of mucosal and systemic infections. The interaction between C. albicans and host cells is characterized by the expression of virulence factors such as adhesins and invasins, the secretion of hydrolytic enzymes, a transition from yeast to filamentous hyphae form, and the ability to form biofilms; these features collectively result in cell adhesion, invasion, and damage. This review describes complex commensal interactions of C. albicans with host cells and the cellular events that it triggers in a pathogenic environment. We also review the host immune response induced by C. albicans antigens and the mechanisms developed by this fungus to avoid the action of antifungal agents. \& REG; 2022 Asociaci6n Argentina de Microbiologi \& PRIME;a.
