Abstract：Candida species are the most prevalent opportunistic fungal pathogens in humans causing superficial and serious systemic infections. The infection process can be divided into three stages: adhesion, invasion, and host cell damage. Adhesion is the first stage of invasive Candida infection process and is precisely controlled by a lot of adhesins. Many of these adhesion-related proteins are members of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored cell wall protein (GPI-CWP) family. This review is intended to summarize some important adhesion related to GPI-CWP: agglutinin-like sequence (Als), hyphal wall protein 1 (Hwp1), epithelial adhesin (Epa), and enhanced adherence to polystyrene 1 (Eap1).
