Candida glabrata

Candida glabrata is a species of yeast that can naturally reside in the human gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts. While typically harmless in healthy individuals, it can become opportunistic in immunocompromised hosts, potentially leading to infections. Compared to other Candida species, C. glabrata tends to be more resistant to common antifungal treatments. Its overgrowth in stool samples may indicate microbial imbalance (dysbiosis), immune suppression, or prior antibiotic use. Monitoring its levels may provide insights into overall gut health and susceptibility to fungal overgrowth.

Description

What is Candida glabrata?

It’s a species of yeast that naturally exists in the body but can cause infections when overgrown, especially in people with weakened immune systems.

Why is it significant if Candida glabrata is found in a stool test?

Elevated levels may indicate dysbiosis, immune suppression, or an overuse of antibiotics that disrupted the normal microbial balance.

How is Candida glabrata different from other Candida species?

C. glabrata is often more resistant to antifungal treatments and less likely to form hyphae, making it harder to detect in standard tests.

Can Candida glabrata overgrowth cause symptoms?

Yes, overgrowth may lead to gastrointestinal discomfort, recurrent infections, or systemic symptoms in more severe cases.

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.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
