Article Synopsis
- Adhesion of Candida species to epithelial cells is essential for the development of oral candidosis, and certain dietary carbohydrates influence this process.
- High concentrations of fructose, glucose, maltose, and sucrose significantly enhance the adhesion of Candida albicans and Candida tropicalis to cells.
- Substituting these carbohydrates with xylitol or sorbitol may help reduce Candida colonization and lower the risk of oral infections.
