Candida lusitaniae
Candida lusitaniae is a less common yeast species that can be part of the normal flora in the human body but has been associated with opportunistic infections, particularly in individuals with weakened immune systems. It is notable for its potential resistance to certain antifungal treatments, especially amphotericin B. In stool analysis, the presence of C. lusitaniae may indicate fungal overgrowth or dysbiosis, particularly when found in elevated amounts. Its detection is important for assessing gut microbial balance and guiding further clinical investigation if needed.
