Summary 

									
								

							

						

						
The binding of Candida albicans cells to chitin was examined in a cell-binding assay. C. albicans bound to chitin-coated plastic plates. The binding was reduced by addition of chitin or chitosan up to 10%. N-acetylglucosamine. These findings suggest that the binding of Candida to chitin may be mediated by recognition of GlcNAc.
