Abstract

We investigated whether serum of healthy persons or seborrhoic patients influences the adhesion of Candida albicans isolated from healthy or seborrhoic patients to human intestine and buccal cells of healthy or seborrhoic patients. Serum from healthy persons inhibited the adhesion to intestine cells less than serum of seborrhoic patients did. Heat inactivation did not influence the results significantly. The adhesion of the different yeast strains to buccal cells showed a large variation. One yeast strain isolated from a seborrhoic patient adhered less than that of a healthy person.
