Specimens were repeatedly obtained for mycological examination from the skin, throat, urine, and feces of the six astronauts who conducted the Apollo 14 and Apollo 15 lunar exploration missions. Analysis of preflight data demonstrates that the process of severely restricting opportunities from colonization for 3 weeks before flight resulted in a 50% reduction in the number of isolated species. Postflight data indicate that exposure to the space flight environment for up to 2 weeks resulted in an even greater reduction with a relative increase in the potential pathogen Candida albicans. No incidences of microbial shock were observed when crewmembers were quarantined for 16 days after completion of the space flight. Intercrew transfer of particular species could not be demonstrated because most species were not consistently recovered.
从执行阿波罗14号和阿波罗15号月球探索任务的6名宇航员的皮肤、喉咙、尿液和粪便中反复采集样本进行真菌学检查。飞行前数据的分析表明，在飞行前3周严格限制定植机会的过程导致分离出的物种数量减少了50%。飞行后数据表明，在太空飞行环境中暴露长达2周导致了更大幅度的减少，同时潜在病原体白色念珠菌的相对数量增加。在太空飞行完成后，机组人员被隔离16天，未观察到微生物休克的病例。由于大多数物种并非始终能被检测到，因此无法证明特定物种在机组人员之间的传播。
