title: [The antilysozyme activity of yeasts in the genus Candida].
abstract: The fungi of the genus Candida isolated from patients with oral mucosa candidiasis and from candidiasis carriers have been studied for their antilysozyme activity. These fungi (Candida albicans, C. tropicalis, C. krusei, C. quilliermondii) are antilysozyme-active. A high antilysozyme activity of the fungi isolated from patients with oral mucosa candidiasis permits supposing that the presence of this trait may be one of the factors of microorganism pathogenicity. The effective antimycotic therapy (clotrimasole, sanguirhitrin) decreases the antilysozyme activity of fungi of the genus Candida.
