oral colonization, phenotypic, and genotypic profiles of candida species in irradiated, dentate, xerostomic nasopharyngeal carcinoma survivors. | the aim of this study was to investigate oral yeast colonization and oral yeast strain diversity in irradiated (head and neck), dentate, xerostomic individuals. subjects were recruited from a nasopharyngeal carcinoma clinic and were segregated into group a (age, <60 years [n = 25; average age +/- standard deviation (sd), 48 +/- 6 years; average postirradiation time +/- sd, 5 +/- 5 years]) and group b (age, >/=60 years [n = 8; average age +/- sd, 67 +/- 4 years; average postirradiation time +/- s ... | 2000 | 10834980 |
