| Abstract: | Phenotypic variants of parent strains ofChaetomium globosum, Trichophyton terrestre, Rhodotorula rubra, andSaccharomyces cerevisiae were exposed to pooled salivary samples contributed by healthy individuals and three groups of outpatients receiving radiation treatment for malignancies, protracted corticosteroid regimes for renal complications, and insulin therapy for diabetes mellitus. Significant variations occurred in fungal growth rates according to phenotype association with specific salivary samples. |
