Abstract

The hormonal and immune status of the macroorganism affects adhesive capacity of host's cells. In the present study we managed to confirm this postulate demonstrating that clinical isolates of Candida albicans species are increasing their adhesive activity to vaginal epithelial cells during the highest concentration of estrogen. This property in equal degrees characteristic of both C. albicans cells types, isolated from women with symptomatic or asymptomatic vaginal candidosis.
