ABSTRACT

Objective To study the correlation between Candida strains and vulvovaginal candidiasis. Methods Two groups of Candida albicans strains were chosen. Strains of group A and group B were isolated from vaginal discharge of normal women and of patients with candidal vaginitis respectively. The two methods, AMS (automated microbiological detection and identification system) and amino black stain, were applied to detect two phenotypic parameters, biochemical reaction of the strains and secretory capacity of the proteinases respectively, and analogous analysis was performed then. Results There was a significant difference in the levels of adonitol (P
