Postantifungal effect (PAFE) is defined as the suppression of growth that persists following limited exposure of yeasts to antimycotics and subsequent removal of the drug. As there are no data on the PAFE of oral C. albicans isolates the main aim of this investigation was to measure the PAFE of 10 oral isolates of C. albicans following limited exposure (1 h) to five antifungal drugs, including nystatin which has not been previously used in PAFE assays. A secondary aim of the study was to evaluate the biological significance of PAFE, using a nystatin pre-exposed isolate of C. albicans and observing its adherence to denture acrylic surfaces, during the PAFE period.
