In healthy individuals, baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is not a pathogen;
however, it has been recovered from immunocom-promised patients. Invasive infection by …

Background. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is one of the microorganisms commonly used as a
probiotic. Although it is primarily known as non-pathogenic, it may cause fungemia …

Background: The incidence of fungal infections caused by the yeasts and yeast-like species
increased dramatically in immunocompromised patients, during the past several decades …

Background and Purpose: By using advanced detection/identification methods, the list of
emerging uncommon opportunistic yeast infections is rapidly expanding worldwide. Our aim …

We report a very rare case of acute pyelonephritis in a 51-year-old female with a history of
chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetes caused by a normally benign and a well-known …

Objective Yeasts are unicellular microorganisms may cause systemic infection in
immunocompromised patients. The aim of this study was to identify yeast strains isolated …

Introduction. Given the limited number of candidaemia studies in Iran, the profile of yeast
species causing bloodstream infections (BSIs), especially in adults, remains limited …

Background: The increased life span has led to application of more invasive procedures for
diagnosis and treatment of particularly immunosuppressed individuals. This situation drew …

Saccharomyces cerevisiae, known as baker's yeast, is also used as a probiotic agent to treat
gastroenteritis by modulating the endogenous flora and immune system. However, since …

Abstract Introduction Non-Candida yeasts, although rare, are increasingly encountered and
recognized as a growing threat. Methods Cases of bloodstream infections (BSIs) due to non …
