Aquatic yeasts: diversity, characteristics and potential health implications.

摘要: There has been a rising interest in the levels, diversity and potential impacts of yeasts aquatic environments. Some species isolated from such niches are known pathogens or have pathogenic antifungal resistance features. This deems it necessary to understand characteristics health implications environmental species. Studies on these subjects limited. Most studies linked them water pollution. However, current gold standards determine microbial pollution use bacteria as main indicator organisms. Including quality may provide different dimension when determining its fit-for-use properties. Pathogenic cause superficial infections life-threatening infections, especially immunocompromised people. yeast recent were resistant commonly used agents clinical veterinary relevance. With high prevalence rate HIV sub-Saharan Africa, particularly South is public concern poses serious medical economic challenges. available concerned with environments only. is, thus, need review literature that also focuses
