Studied were swab samples taken from the oral cavity, the nostrils, and the rectum, resp., the cloaca of a total of 2315 calves, pigs, chickens, poulets, and turkey-poults to demonstrate the presence of fungi of the genus Candida. The material was taken from healthy animals and birds as well as from such that had digestive troubles, bronchitis, and bronchopneumontia. Isolated were the species; C. krusei, C. tropicalis, C. parapsilosis, C. albicans, C. pelliculosa, C. gulliermondii, and C. utilis. The various species were differentiated on the basis of their morphologic and cultural characteristics and their biochemical behaviour. It was established that C. albicans only manifested pathogenic properties. It was experimentally demonstrated that the appearance of a Candida infection was facilitated by the simultaneous application of a fungus culture and antibiotics of a broad spectrum. Histopathologic investigations were carried out of experimentally infected and spontaneously affected birds.
对总共2315头犊牛、猪、鸡、雏鸡和小火鸡的口腔、鼻孔、直肠（泄殖腔）分别采集拭子样本，以证明念珠菌属真菌的存在。材料取自健康的动物和禽类以及患有消化问题、支气管炎和支气管肺炎的动物和禽类。分离出的菌种有：克鲁斯念珠菌、热带念珠菌、近平滑念珠菌、白色念珠菌、薄膜念珠菌、季也蒙念珠菌和产朊假丝酵母。根据各种菌种的形态和培养特征以及它们的生化特性进行区分。已确定只有白色念珠菌表现出致病特性。通过实验证明，同时应用真菌培养物和广谱抗生素会促使念珠菌感染的出现。对实验感染和自然感染的禽类进行了组织病理学研究。
