[The identification of freshly isolated strains, the causative agents of human candidiasis and the search for effective antifungal probiotics].
The species variety of yeasts of the genus Candida in children and patients with AIDS has been investigated. Composition of the studied species was found to be similar in newborns and in women with candidiasis. In order to create new probiotics with antifungal properties, the cluster analysis of antagonistic activity of some Bacillus strains against Enterobacteriaceae, Candida, normoflora and food-fermenting lactobacteria has been conducted. There were selected the combinations of some Bacillus strains, which effectively inhibited pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms and at the same time had no effect on intestinal normoflora.
