Abstract excerpt
Adhesion of Candida albicans to host cells is believed to represent a fungal virulence factor and a significant step in the development of candidiasis. As C. albicans strains may differ in their in vitro adhesion ability we initiated a study to investigate whether mutant strains differ in this re...
