Abstract
The adherence of different Candida strains isolated from the human gastrointestinal tract was studied. The 23 Candida strains isolated from faeces were C. albicans (12), C. glabrata (2), C. krusei (2), C. parapsilosis (2), C. tropicalis (2), C. colliculosa (1), C. kefyr (1) and C. lusitaniae (1). Buccal epithelial cells from different healthy donors were used. Adherence values were maximal for C. albicans and minimal for C. krusei. A relation exists between yeast adherence capacity and the ability to colonize mucosal surfaces.Entities:
