Candida species, belonging to commensal microbial communities in humans, cause opportunistic infections individuals with impaired immunity. Pathogens encountered more than 90% cases of invasive candidiasis include C. albicans, glabrata, krusei, tropicalis, and parapsilosis. The most frequently diagnosed infection is candidemia. About 50% candidemia result deep-seated due hematogenous spread. sensitivity blood cultures autopsy-proven ranges from 21% 71%. Non-cultural methods (beta-D-glucan, T2Candida assays), especially beta-D-glucan combination procalcitonin, appear promising the exclusion high (98%) negative predictive value (95%). There currently a clear deficiency approved sensitive precise diagnostic techniques. Omics technologies seem promising, though require further development study.

Dental caries, a highly prevalent oral disease, impacts significant portion of the global population. Conventional approaches that indiscriminately eradicate microbes disrupt natural equilibrium microbiota. In contrast, biointervention strategies aim to restore this balance by introducing beneficial microorganisms or inhibiting cariogenic ones. Over past three decades, microbial preparations have garnered considerable attention in dental research for prevention and treatment caries. However, unlike related pathologies gastrointestinal, vaginal, respiratory tracts, caries occurs on hard tissues such as tooth enamel is closely associated with localized acid overproduction facilitated biofilms. Therefore, it insufficient rely solely previous mechanisms delineate role cavity. A more comprehensive perspective should involve considering concepts This review elucidates latest progress, action, challenges, future directions regarding probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, postbiotics taking into account unique pathogenic With an enhanced understanding microbiota, personalized therapy will emerge critical trend.
