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 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 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 as a eukaryotic probiotic and its therapeutic functions
Fuller, in 1989, described probiotic microorganisms as “a live microbial feed supplement,which beneficially affects the host animal, by improving its intestinal microbial balance”.Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii (S.boulardii) is an accurate probiotic yeast idol.The detection and budding of S.boulardiiis firmly related to the impression of healthinessto promote microorganisms from foodst...
متن کاملAntioxidant properties and global metabolite screening of the probiotic yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii.
BACKGROUND Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii is the only yeast species with probiotic properties. It is considered to have therapeutic significance in gastrointestinal disorders. In the present study, a comparative physiological study between this yeast and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (BY4742) was performed by evaluating two prominent traits of probiotic species, responses to different stres...
