Candida tropicalis

Candida tropicalis is a yeast species that can be part of the normal human microbiota, especially in the gastrointestinal tract and mucosal surfaces. It has a higher pathogenic potential than some other non-albicans Candida species and is frequently linked to systemic infections in immunocompromised patients. In the gut, increased levels of C. tropicalis may indicate fungal overgrowth, dysbiosis, or a weakened immune system. Its detection in stool tests can aid in identifying imbalances in the gut mycobiome and possible sources of inflammation or infection.
