- Abstract
Oral swabs of 73 HIV-1 infected men (32 under conditions of antimycotic treatment (43.8%)) and 58 controls were cultured for <em>Candida</em> species and <em>Enterobacteriaceae</em>. In Group A without antimycotics, yeasts were isolated from 35/41 swabs (85.4%) (range 2 x 10¹ - 4 x 106 cfu/ml). In Group B with antimycotics, yeasts were cultured from 27/32 swabs (84.4%) (4x¹ - 1 x 106] cfu/ml). Oral <em>Enterobacteriaceae</em> (o.e.) were grown from 22% of the swabs of both Group A (2 x 10¹ - 2x6] cfu/ml) and Group B (4x 10¹ - 1.6 x 106 cfu/ml). Growth of o.e. and yeasts (2 x 10³ - 4 x 106 cfu/ml). Correlation between yeasts and o. e. were isolated in 14% (2 x 10¹ - 6,4 x 106 cfu/ml). Correlation between yeasts species to local and systemic treatment deserves further investigations.
