Candida spp. und C. albicans are common within the microbial ecosystem of the human orointestinal tract. Candida in low quantities is found at various sites in healthy subjects. In patients with typical risk factors, mainly in immunocompromised hosts, an increased growth of Candida occurs. In cases with multiple sites colonised there will be an increased risk of severe Candida infections. The metabolic activity of Candida in the gut is very low under anaerobic condition and limitation of nutrients.
念珠菌属和白色念珠菌在人类口腔肠道微生物生态系统中很常见。在健康受试者的各个部位都能发现少量念珠菌。在具有典型风险因素的患者中，主要是免疫功能低下的宿主，念珠菌的生长会增加。在多个部位被定植的情况下，发生严重念珠菌感染的风险会增加。在厌氧条件和营养受限的情况下，肠道中念珠菌的代谢活性非常低。
