Resumo
C. albicans is the frequent agent for the oral candidosis and it is also associated to immunosuppressi-
ve diseases as, for example, diabetes. However, other non-albicans species such as C. dubliniensis initially
associated with candidosis in orofaringe patients infected by the virus HIV, where is still more prevalent,
it has been recognized as infection cause in patients with cancer, cystic fibrosis and patients with several
pathologies. Phenotypics methods for Candida spp. are easy-to-use procedures for routine discrimination
of oral isolates in the clinical microbiology laboratory. One of the problems that interfere in the identification
accomplishment of the species of Candida in more wide epidemic studies is the difficulty of the fast identifi-
cation, starting from screen methods of low cost. In that way, some phenotypics methods are presented with
the objective of contributing in the search of alternative tests to be applied as routine in laboratories.
