Correlation between germ tube production, phospholipase activity and serotype distribution in Candida albicans.

Abstract

One-hundred and thirteen Candida albicans strains isolated from patients infected by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and twenty five from HIV-negative individuals were studied. The C. albicans strains isolated from different sites of the body were tested for germ-tube (GT), phospholipase production and serotype. The results obtained indicate that the serotype A was predominant in all the groups except for the vaginal strains. No correlation was observed between phospholipase activity and serotype distribution. Germ tube (GT) production was higher among the serotype B strains. A positive correlation between GT induction and phospholipase activity was observed only for the isolates from the oral cavity. It is possible that the correlation between phospholipase activity and high GT production in C. albicans strains can facilitate the penetration through the mucosa.
