Candida dubliniensis
Candida dubliniensis is a yeast species closely related to Candida albicans and can be part of the normal microbial flora in the gastrointestinal tract. Under certain conditions, such as weakened immunity, dysbiosis, or high sugar intake, it can overgrow and contribute to fungal imbalance and gastrointestinal symptoms. It is less common than C. albicans but shares many similar characteristics, including its ability to form biofilms and cause mucosal infections. Measuring its levels in stool helps assess fungal overgrowth and the balance of the gut mycobiome.
