Phenotypic switching and its influence on expression of virulence factors by Candida albicans causing candidiasis in human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients
G Antony, V Saralaya, GK Bhat… - Indian Journal of Medical …, 2007 - Elsevier
Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to determine the degree of expression of
virulence factors such as adherence, cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH) and production of
proteinase by different morphological forms of Candida albicans causing oral candidiasis in
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals. Methods: C. albicans 3153A and
two strains isolated from oral thrush in HIV infected individuals were induced to undergo
phenotypic switching by exposure to UV light and the degree of expression of virulence …
