ABSTRACT
A total of 49 Candida albicans strains were isolated from the saliva of 11 healthy children in Piracicaba, Brazil and were analyzed according to their alloenzymatic patterns. Among eight loci assayed, seven were polymorphic and allowed to determine allelic and genotype frequencies, in order to establish the genetic variables for this fungal population. Some children showed just one genetic type, whereas other harbored two or more clones of such yeast, in a multiclonal manner of colonization by C. albicans.
