Adherence of Candida albicans to buccal epithelial cells of newborn infants was studied by the visual adherence method. Forty-five samples of buccal epithelial cells were obtained from 21 normal newborns at different times following delivery. In group I (mean age 7.5 hr) 367 \_+ 51 yeast cells adher

The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of a chitin derivative (CSE) on the adherence of Candida albicans to acrylic. Fungal adherence to acrylic dentures is considered an essential step in the development of denture stomatitis. Adherence of C. albicans to acrylic pieces (5 x 5mm) was ass
Data from our previous studies suggested that the fungal cell wall component, chitin, is involved in the adhesion of Candida albicans to mucosal surfaces. In the present study, we investigated the effect of polyoxin D, an inhibitor of chitin synthase, on the interaction of the fungus with epithelial
