| Abstract: | The occurrence of C. albicans in association with opportunistic microorganisms (Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella) in intestinal dysbiosis in patents of different age groups (from 6 days to 31 years) was analyzed. The data on the comparative evaluation of the results of the bacteriological examination of patients with intestinal dysbiosis, carried out during the periods of 2000-2001 and 2001-2002 (388 and 467 patients respectively), are presented. During the period of 2000-2001 the detection rate of C. albicans in monoculture was 6-33% of cases (in the examined group). A higher detection rate was registered with respect to the association of C. albicans with staphylococci (42-65% of cases). The associations of C. albicans with staphylococci and Klebsiella were observed in 13-46% of cases. Similar results were registered during the period of 2001-2002, but during this period a reliable decrease in the detection rate of the association of C. albicans with staphylococci (practically by 20% in the group of infants) and the 1 1/2-fold increase of the detection rate of C. albicans in monooulture (in all age groups) were observed. |
