Candida albicans Berthout, 1923: hydrolases activity and own method of digestive tract strains biotyping.

112 strains of Candida albicans were isolated from oral cavity and ontocenoses of the upper digestive tract (endoscopy) of children (age: 5-17) with gastrointestinal disorders. Axenic strains were differentiated with API 20C AUX and API ZYM tests (bioMérieux). Then enzymograms and biotypes were determined for all the strains based on the activity of 19 hydrolases.
