Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii fungemia following probiotic treatment
Probiotics are commonly prescribed as an adjuvant in the treatment of antibiotic-associated diarrhea caused by Clostridium difficile. We report the case of an immunocompromised 73-year-old patient on chemotherapy who developed Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii fungemia in a central venous catheter during treatment of antibiotic-associated pseudomembranous colitis with the probiotic Saccha...
متن کاملSaccharomyces cerevisiae fungemia: an adverse effect of Saccharomyces boulardii probiotic administration.
A probiotic can be defined as a live, non-pathogenic microbial supplement that exerts a positive influence on the health or physiology of the host [1, 2]. Probiotics consist of either bacteria, especially lactic acid bacteria, or yeast. Probiotics have mainly been used for gastrointestinal and vaginal diseases [3]. The effects of probiotics are thought to be related to direct enzymatic effects ...
متن کاملSaccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii – Probiotic Yeast
The discovery and study of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii (Sb) is strictly related to the concept of health promoting microorganisms from food. The first most well-known and popularized throughout Europe assumption of health promoting food containing living microorganisms was yogurt. Appointed in 1888 by Louis Pasteur, Ilya Ilyich Metchnikov working in Paris developed...
متن کاملSaccharomyces cerevisiae fungemia: an emerging infectious disease.
BACKGROUND Saccharomyces cerevisiae is well known in the baking and brewing industry and is also used as a probiotic in humans. However, it is a very uncommon cause of infection in humans. METHODS During the period of 15-30 April 2003, we found 3 patients with S. cerevisiae fungemia in an intensive care unit (ICU). An epidemiological study was performed, and the medical records for all patien...
متن کاملMolecular and physiological comparisons between Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces boulardii.
In this paper, comparative molecular studies between authentic Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains, related species, and the strain described as Saccharomyces boulardii were performed. The response of a S. boulardii strain and a S. cerevisiae strain (W303) to different stress conditions was also evaluated. The results obtained in this study show that S. boulardii is genetically very close or nearl...
