【 摘 要 】

Abilith of Candida spp to secrete extracellular enzymes and slime has been associated as pathogenicity factors. Out of a total of 37 strains of Candida sp, 100% were proteinase producers, 83.8% were phospholipase producers, 64.9% were slime producers and 100% were sensitive to fluconazole and itraconazole. Seventeen typings (enzymes/slime) were found. This methodology presented a good discrimination rate (D = 0.93) and could be used for phenotypic characterization of yeasts.
