✦ Synopsis

The effect of fluconazole and the antineoplastic agents etoposide and methotrexate on the growth and adhesion of Candida albicans were studied. All the tested chemicals inhibited the growth and the adhesion of the yeast to buccal epithelial cells, while fluconazole and etoposide inhibited the adhesion to acrylate surface as well. Our experiments also demonstrated that etoposide and methotrexate interfered with the inhibitory effect of fluconazole on both the growth and cell adhesion. While etoposide strengthened the inhibitory effect of fluconazole, in the presence of methotrexate fluconazole showed lower inhibition on both the growth and adhesion.

Xylitol production is suppressed by D-glucose. We previously reported that the suppression was abrogated in the presence of NaCl. This was explained in part by high levels of xylose reductase (XR) activity. In this study, we investigated the effects of D-glucose on XR and xylitol dehydrogenase (XDH)
