The aim of the work was to compare adhesive properties of Candida albicans strains isolated from the oral cavity in HIV+ vs. HIV- persons. The materials were Candida albicans strains and buccal epithelial cells isolated from both HIV+ and HIV- persons. We applied the in vitro adherence test, primarily described by Kimura and Pearsall and modified by Macura. The strongest adherence was found between both fungi and epithelial cells isolated from a HIV+ person. The adherence of C. albicans isolated from HIV+ patients was significantly stronger to epithelium collected from HIV+ than HIV- persons.
