Abstract
Cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH) of 50 clinical isolates of Candida albicans was studied, and values varied broadly in the range 2% to 41%. Purpose of the present work was to investigate correlation of CSH with the C. albicans adherence to solid surfaces, if any. To elucidate this, adhesion to the polystyrene model surface was studied for all the clinical isolates. Adherence varied in the range of 79 to 478 cells per microscopic field. Results indicated no correlation between CSH of the clinical isolates and their adhesion to polystyrene.Entities:
