[Growth of Candida albicans in normal and altered fecal flora in the continuous flow culture model].
We used the model of fecal microflora under continuous flow culture (cfc) conditions to study the growth of Candida albicans in mixed cultures. The development of Candida is usually limited by the high germ counts of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. Neither by the continuous inflow of C. albicans-cfc-monocultures nor by intermittent input of highly concentrated suspensions of C. albicans into the system a growth in fecal flora could be obtained. If the system was run under aerobic conditions a development of C. albicans with few hyphal growth could be observed. After some days however, the fecal flora again suppressed a further development of the yeasts. Only a marked destruction of the aerobic and anaerobic microflora by antibiotics resulted in a growth or overgrowth of Candida albicans.
