- Differences by Resistotyping Between C. albicans Strains Isolated from the Oral Cavity of HIV+ and Seronegative Patients Florencio Rueda-Gordillo Sandra Elena Hernández-Solís Luis Alberto Gaitán-Cepeda Luis Octavio Sánchez-Vargas Esperanza Mercedes Lama-González María del Sagrado Corazón Rodríguez-Fernández Medicina HIV Candida Carriers Epidemiology Resistotyping Candida albicans is the etiological agent most frequently associated with oral candidiasis in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) carriers. Strain typification is important to disease epidemiology, particularly with simple, low-cost methodologies such as resistotyping. The present study was designed to use resistotyping to identify possible phenotypic differences between C. albicans strains isolated from the oral cavity of HIV+ and HIV-seronegative patients. Analyses were run using resistotyping (boric acid, cetrimide, sodium periodate, sodium selenite and silver nitrate) to identify phenotypical differences between C. albicans. Descriptive statistics was performed. Of the 149 clones isolated from HIV+ patients the most frequent (47.0%) resistotype was ABCDE. The most frequent resistotype (64.8%) in the 74 clones from HIV-seronegative patients was --CDE. Phenotypic differences were identified between the strains isolated from each group. HIV+ patients exhibited greater strain diversity. Although it has limitations, resistotyping effectively identified differences between C. albicans strains. 2018 artículo científico 1659-1046 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=499557633010 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4995/499557633010/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4995/499557633010/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4995/499557633010/499557633010.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4995/499557633010/movil 10.15517/ijds.v0i0.32882 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4995 Odovtos - International Journal of Dental Sciences application/pdf Universidad de Costa Rica Odovtos - International Journal of Dental Sciences (Costa Rica) Num.2 Vol.20
