Nobel prize 1908: beneficial role of lactobacilli in boosting immunity. Many digestive diseases result from imbalance of micro-flora in the gastro-intestinal tract. Candida can cause a fungal infection or candidiasis in humans, the most common of which is candida albicans. Candida species reside on the skin, mouth, intestinal tract, vagina, and other moist, warm, and dark areas of the body.1 Candida are harmless inhabitants of the body's micro flora, but are classified as opportunistic pathogens, in other words they are pathogens only under specific conditions. 1,2 During these conditions the micro flora balance or homeostasis is disrupted and an overgrowth of yeast takes place. As a result a local or systemic infection occurs. 1,2. A normal healthy gut has more than 400 different species of bacteria. > 85% is beneficial for good health. 1,5 - 2 kg of total body weight. 10 x > than cells in the body. Gut dysbiosis - when this equilibrium is disturbed good bacteria are destroyed, gut environment favourable for other fungi and parasites, including candida albicans, to flourish in. Predisposing factors of candida overgrowth: Individual with a weakened defence system including those suffering from immune-compromised conditions such as HIV and cancer. Medication use such as antibiotics, corticosteroids, chemotherapy and radiation. Poor diet. Alcohol abuse. Stress. Hormonal changes associated with the menstrual cycle and pregnancy.
