Abstract
Fifty Candida albicans strains isolated from the oral cavities of HIV-infected patients were typed with 14 different lectins by means of agglutination reactions. Sixteen different lectin types could be distinguished, the most frequent type representing 22% of strains. A change in the lectin type was found in about half of the Candida albicans strains representing control cultures from identical individuals. A simplified typing scheme based on three lectins seems to be almost as efficacious for epidemiological application.
