title: Mycoplasma salivarium detected in a microbial community with Candida glabrata in the biofilm of an occluded biliary stent.
abstract: Mycoplasma salivarium, preferentially an inhabitant of the human oral cavity, has rarely been found in other locations associated with disease. We describe here, for what is believed to be the first time, the detection of M. salivarium, together with Candida glabrata, in an occluded biliary stent of an icteric, cholestatic patient.
