Lack of association between genotypes and virulence factors in C. albicans strains isolated from vaginal secretion Ausência de associação entre genótipos e fatores de virulência em C. albicans isoladas de secreção vaginal

The physiopathogenesis of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is still not completely elucidated. The objective of this study was to evaluate if there is a relationship between the different genotypes of Candida albicans, their main agent and the virulence of this yeast in vaginal isolates, and to check...
