In this study, one of the important virulance factor, slime activity was examined in vitro in 106 Candida species isolated from various clinical specimens. Presence of slime factor was investigated on brain-heart infusion agar with Kongo red. Slime production was evaluated according to Kongo red phenomenon. In this study, slime factor production was found positive in 41 (53.2%) of 77 C. albicans strains and 10 (34.5%) of 29 non- C. albicans strains which were tested on brain-heart-infusion agar with Kongo red.
