Abstract
Clinical specimens of respiratory secretions, urine, and vaginal secretions were continuously monitored for Candida species and accompanying bacteria. The distribution of the major bacterial species was analysed with respect to the presence or absence of Candida co-isolates. Statistically significant differences were observed particularly between the distributions of certain aerobic gram-positive cocci, which tended to be associated with the yeast-like fungi, and certain aerobic gram-negative rods, which were found more often in the absence of Candida. Likewise, the profile of bacterial isolates as a whole correlated significantly with the presence of yeast-like fungi.
