Candida krusei
Candida krusei is a species of yeast that can be part of the gut mycobiome but is generally present in low numbers. It is known for its natural resistance to certain antifungal treatments, particularly fluconazole, making its identification clinically relevant. An overgrowth of C. krusei may occur in individuals with compromised gut flora, immune suppression, or high sugar intake. Elevated levels in stool may reflect a disruption in microbial balance or a yeast overgrowth condition that could contribute to digestive discomfort and systemic symptoms.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.
