- Abstract:
- The role of Candida in antibiotic-associated diarrhoea (AAD) has been controversial for many years. Since Candida exists physiologically in the gastrointestinal tract, the presence of small numbers of Candida organisms in stool has therefore been considered normal, and thus non-pathogenic. Increased Candida counts have been linked to the development of diarrhoea in antibiotic-treated patients. However, recent findings have not confirmed this. To date, there is no convincing evidence that Candida may cause AAD in adults.
