Abstract
The yeast flora of the hard palate mucosa and pooled saliva of 122 schoolchildren (average age 9 years 10 months, 63 males, 59 females) has been studied in detail. Of the population sampled, 71·3% carried oral yeasts. The carriage was approximately 3 times greater in females than in males. The yeast isolates were Candida albicans 71% Saccharomyces spp. 19·7% and Candida tropicalis 8·6%. No isolates of Torulopsis spp. or Rhodotorula spp. were recovered. 71·5% of the Candida albicans isolates were serotype A and 26·3% were serotype B. Die Hefeflora der Mucosa des Palatum durum und des gepoolten Speichels wurde bei 122 Schulkindern (63 Jungen, 59 Mädchen, mittleres Alter 9 Jahre und 10 Monate) im Detail studiert. 71,3% der intersuchten Population waren Träger von Hefen im Mund. Bei Mädchen war die Trägerschaft 3 mal grösser als bei Jungen. 71% der Isolate waren Candida albicans, 19,7% Saccharomyces spp. und 8,6% Candida tropicalis. Weder Torulopsis noch Rhodutorula wurden isoliert. 71,5% der Candida-Isolate waren Serotyp A, 26,3% Serotyp B.
