title: [Effect of various components of the fungal cell wall on adhesion of Candida albicans to the mouth mucosa epithelium in vitro].
abstract: An influence of mannan++, its component methyl-D-mannopyranoside+ and N-acetylglucosamine on in vitro adhesion of Candida albicans strains to buccal mucosal epithelium was studied. These substances inhibited adhesion when added to adherence test in a concentration of 10 mg/ml and 25 mg/ml despite whether were added to the test incubation medium or when preincubated with fungi or epithelial cells. Preincubation of fungal cells and epithelial cells with mannan had no influence on attachment; preincubation of epithelial cells with methyl-D-mannopyranoside+ and N-acetylglucosamine decreased adherence significantly. On the other hand preincubation of fungal calls with methyl-D-mannopyranoside+ increased their adhesive properties, having no influence on adherence after preincubation of fungi with N-acetylglucosamine.
