[Table/Fig-2]:

Comparison between the various virulence factors expressed by candida albicans and non albicans strains of candida isolated from genitourinary tract

C.albicans n = 40 (%) Non albicans strains of candida n = 42(%) p value
Biofilm production Moderate/strong 22 (55) 19 (45) 0.36
Hemolysin 39 (97.5) 41 (97.6) 1.00
Phospholipase 21 (52.5) 5 (12) *<0.01

* C.albicans strains produced more phospholipase in comparison to the non albicans strains of candida. Whereas there was no statistically relevant difference between hemolysin and biofilm production by C.albicans and non albicans strains of candida
