A member asked:
Is candidas glabrata naturally present in the genitals? it showed up on culture test which was the cause my vagina yeast infection. my dr was wondering how i got it since i havent been hospitalised?

Yes, C. glabrata can be present naturally in the intestines and genitals, along with C. albicans. If C. albicans is treated and reduced in numbers, C. glabrata can increase and become the dominant type. C. glabrata causes 5-10% of vaginal yeast infections. Usually it is not acquired from outside the body, and it is not necessary to be hospitalized to have it.
