title: [Adhesiveness of yeast-like fungi in the system "Candida albicans--vaginal epitheliocytes"].
abstract: The influence of vaginal liquid on adhesive reactions in the system "Candida albicans - vaginal epitheliocytes". Preliminary treatment of C. albicans by mucin, natural or absorbed vaginal liquid resulted in decrease of adhesive activity (p<0.05). C. albicans did not change its adhesive properties in case of preliminary treatment of vaginal epitheliocytes by the same substances. In the system "Candida albicans - vaginal epitheliocytes" vaginal liquid has the expressed antiadhesive effect, which probably belongs to mucin.
