ABSTRACT
The association between the presence of self-splicing intron Ca.LSU and proteolytic activity of Candida albicans isolates was tested. Study included 95 C. albicans strains isolated from gastrointestinal tract of diabetes children. The strains with the intron (genotype B) displayed a significantly higher proteolytic activity (385.2+/-192U/L) than did strains without intron (genotype A) (119+/-115U/L) (p = 0.0000048).
