The virulence potential of 23 yeasts recovered from intravascular catheters and the hands of workers in a hospital in the northwestern region of Paraná were evaluated. Yeasts recovered from catheters presented greater adherence and were more hydrophobic (p<0.05) than yeasts recovered from hands. Candida non-albicans species expressed the virulence factors evaluated more intensely.
对从巴拉那州西北部一家医院的血管内导管和工作人员手部分离出的23株酵母菌的毒力潜力进行了评估。从导管分离出的酵母菌比从手部分离出的酵母菌表现出更强的黏附性且疏水性更强（p<0.05）。非白色念珠菌表达所评估的毒力因子更为强烈。
