Abstract
At least seven microbial species have been demonstrated to be associated with the gastric mucosa in pigs—lactobacilli, Candida slooffii, Escherichia coli, peptostreptococci, veillonellae, Candida albicans, and a Proteus species. An eighth species, Clostridium perfringens, appeared to be confined mainly to the stomach contents. The yeasts, C. albicans and C. slooffii, seem capable of proliferating on abnormal epithelial areas of the pars oesophagea. Factors which may influence this yeast multiplication and the possible role of these organisms in ulceration of the pars oesophagea are discussed.
