Candida parapsilosis
Candida parapsilosis is a yeast species that can be part of the normal human microbiota, especially on the skin and in the gastrointestinal tract. While usually harmless in healthy individuals, it can become opportunistic and cause infections, particularly in hospitalized or immunocompromised patients. It is frequently linked to catheter-related infections, wound infections, and occasionally gastrointestinal issues. Elevated levels in stool may indicate gut microbiome imbalance, recent antibiotic use, or suppressed immune function. Monitoring its presence can be important for evaluating fungal overgrowth or gut dysbiosis.
