Candida pararugosa was first isolated from human feces, but after the initial description no further recovery from humans has been reported. During a study on oral Candida colonization in denture wearers living in Palermo (Italy), we isolated C. pararugosa from a 61-year-old woman without signs of oral candidosis. This constitutes, to the authors' knowledge, the first isolation of C. pararugosa from the oral cavity. After six months, colonization by C. pararugosa persisted, suggesting that this species could be a component of the normal oral microbiota. The identification procedure we used could be useful in elucidating the epidemiology of C. pararugosa and for establishing its clinical significance.
近平滑念珠菌最初是从人类粪便中分离出来的，但在最初的描述之后，没有再报道从人类身上分离到该菌。在一项对居住在意大利巴勒莫的戴假牙者口腔念珠菌定植的研究中，我们从一名61岁无口腔念珠菌病迹象的女性身上分离出了近平滑念珠菌。据作者所知，这是首次从口腔中分离出近平滑念珠菌。六个月后，近平滑念珠菌的定植持续存在，表明该菌种可能是正常口腔微生物群的一个组成部分。我们使用的鉴定方法可能有助于阐明近平滑念珠菌的流行病学并确定其临床意义。
