RESUMO
Avaliou-se o potencial de virulência de 23 leveduras isoladas de cateteres e mãos de trabalhadores em um hospital do Noroeste do Paraná. As leveduras isoladas de cateter foram mais aderentes e hidrofóbicas (P<0,05) que as leveduras isoladas das mãos. Candida não-albicans expressaram com mais intensidade os fatores de virulência avaliados.
ABSTRACT
The virulence potential of 23 yeasts recovered from intravascular catheters and the hands of workers in a hospital in the northwestern region of Paraná were evaluated. Yeasts recovered from catheters presented greater adherence and were more hydrophobic (p<0.05) than yeasts recovered from hands. Candida non-albicans species expressed the virulence factors evaluated more intensely.
