The interaction of Candida albicans with the host is of a complex nature involving fungal
factors and host's response. In this study, we concentrated on the phenotypic expression of …

The aims of this study were to compare the genetic relatedness of:(i) sequential and single
isolates of Candida strains from women with recurrent vaginal candidiasis (RVC); and (ii) …
