Candida glabratais the second or third most frequent cause of candidaemia. The gastrointestinal tract is considered to be a major portal of entry for systemic candidiasis, but relatively few studies have investigated the pathogenesis ofC. glabrata. Experiments were designed to clarify the ability ofC. glabratato disseminate from the mouse intestinal tract. Following oral inoculation,C. glabratareadily colonized the caeca [approx. 107cells (g caecum)−1] of antibiotic-treated mice, but extraintestinal dissemination was not detected. Superimposing several mouse models of trauma and/or immunosuppression known to induce dissemination ofCandida albicansand other intestinal microbes did not causeC. glabratato disseminate often, although one exception was mice given high doses of dexamethasone for 4 days. These data support the hypothesis that the antibiotic-treated mouse intestine may be an epidemiological reservoir forC. glabrataand that this yeast tends to disseminate under specific clinical conditions.
