Abstract
In patients with AIDS and recurrent oropharyngeal candidosis results o f biotyping and serotyping were compared with antifungal susceptibilit y testing. Biotype B1 was found predominantly with 44.3% from 169 C. a lbicans isolates. Serotype A was seen in 150/169 C. albicans isolates. No close correlation between high MIC values (greater than or equal t o 25 mu g/ml) for C. albicans isolates against fluconazole nor a chang e to a particular biotype or serotype has been observed in recurrences of oral candidosis.
