Probiotic shows promise against candidiasis
We investigated the role of Saccharomyces boulardii, a helpful probiotic, in combating Candida albicans, a troublesome pathogen for those with weakened immune systems.
By examining the effects on specific human intestinal cell lines, we found that both S. boulardii and its culture extract notably reduced C. albicans' ability to adhere to these cells.
Additionally, the extract lowered the production of harmful inflammatory markers, suggesting it may help manage inflammation linked to these infections. Overall, our findings highlight the potential of S. boulardii as a supportive treatment against candidiasis.

Saccharomyces boulardii reduces Candida translocation
We explored how orally administered Saccharomyces boulardii affects the translocation of Candida albicans from the gastrointestinal tract in mice. In this study, antibiotic-treated mice were challenged with C. albicans to simulate intestinal overgrowth.
We found that S. boulardii reduced the likelihood of C. albicans being detected in lymph nodes for healthy mice, but it did not lower its concentration there. However, in mice subjected to immunosuppression, S. boulardii significantly decreased both the incidence and the quantities of C. albicans translocation to various organs, showcasing its potential benefits in immunocompromised situations.

We aimed to understand how Saccharomyces boulardii affects Candida albicans in a mouse model with chemically-induced colitis. By administering S. boulardii alongside C. albicans, we found that the yeast significantly reduced C. albicans colonization and inflammation related to the colitis.
Mice treated with S. boulardii showed lower levels of inflammatory markers and less severe symptoms than those that did not receive the yeast. Overall, our findings suggest that S. boulardii can help combat C. albicans and alleviate inflammation in this context.

We explored how introducing probiotics in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) affected the prevalence of candidemia and candiduria in children receiving broad-spectrum antibiotics. In a retrospective study comparing two groups, we found that candidemia rates dropped significantly from 3.7% in the control group to 1.2% among those taking probiotics. Similarly, candiduria fell from 22% to 10.7%. These results suggest that probiotics may help reduce the risk of these fungal infections in critically ill children.

Our investigation looked at how the probiotic yeast Saccharomyces boulardii can help combat candidiasis, particularly by reducing the virulence of Candida albicans. We found that S. boulardii secretes compounds that diminish C. albicans's ability to grow filaments, adhere, and form biofilms. Specifically, capric acid was identified as the main contributor to these inhibitory effects. While capric acid had a significant impact, it was less effective than the full yeast extract, which had additional factors that help suppress C. albicans adhesion.

Good supplement for chronic candidiasis. This is quite potent. Maybe I overdid it by taking two capsules, one with lunch and one with dinner on the first day. Saccharomyces Boulardii is a yeast that eliminates candida, making it beneficial for candida overgrowth. Next time, I plan to start with one capsule daily and gradually increase the dose. I believe this supplement aids in alleviating chronic candidiasis.

We reviewed placebo-controlled studies to see how biotherapeutic agents, like Saccharomyces boulardii, can help treat infections, including candidiasis. While many studies showed promising results in preventing antibiotic-related diarrhea and treating other infections, evidence specifically supporting the effectiveness of S. boulardii for vaginal candidiasis is limited. We found few adverse effects, but the sample sizes in studies were often small. Overall, it's a call to further research these microorganisms to potentially reduce our reliance on conventional antibiotics.
