This study aimed to determine the occurrence of Candida spp. in the oral cavity of predominantly breastfed infants and in their mothers' mouths and breasts, as well as in the oral cavity of bottlefed infants and in non-lactating women. One hundred and sixty nine women and eighty-five milk-fed infants took part in this study and were divided into four groups: 1) infants predominantly on breastfeeding (n = 55) and their mothers (n = 55); 2) infants on bottlefeeding (n = 30); 3) non-lactating women on whom oral collections were performed (n = 80) and, 4) non-lactating women on whom breast collections were performed (n = 34). Oral and mammary swabs were cultured on Sabouraud agar dextrose with chloramphenicol. The Candida yeast strains found were isolated and identified through morphological and biochemical tests. Candida species were much less frequent in infants who were predominantly breastfed than in those who were bottlefed. Yeasts were much more frequent on the breasts of lactating women, with statistical difference in relation to the control group.
本研究旨在确定主要进行母乳喂养的婴儿及其母亲口腔和乳房中念珠菌属的存在情况，以及人工喂养婴儿口腔和非哺乳期女性中的念珠菌属存在情况。169名女性和85名母乳喂养婴儿参与了本研究，并被分为四组：1）主要进行母乳喂养的婴儿（n = 55）及其母亲（n = 55）；2）人工喂养的婴儿（n = 30）；3）进行口腔样本采集的非哺乳期女性（n = 80）；4）进行乳房样本采集的非哺乳期女性（n = 34）。将口腔和乳房拭子接种于含氯霉素的沙氏葡萄糖琼脂培养基上进行培养。通过形态学和生化试验对分离出的念珠菌酵母菌株进行鉴定。主要进行母乳喂养的婴儿中念珠菌属的出现频率远低于人工喂养的婴儿。酵母菌在哺乳期女性乳房上更为常见，与对照组相比有统计学差异。
