Colonization of hydrophilic contact lenses by yeast

open access: yesJournal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology, 2004
The growth of six strains of yeast was analyzed in vitro in order to assess their capacity for colonizing (adhesion and invasion) hydrophilic contact lenses. Lenses with different water content were cultured in two culture media for 3, 7, 14, and 21 days. Only strain 93150 of Candida albicans could adhere to and invade the polymers.
