“…One wonders about the common adaptive and survival ability of these coillmensal fungi on the normal human skin. Only Ccindidu albicaizs and Cundida parup.sk'losis had been shown to be capable of assimilating human or animal keratin as the sole nitrogen source (Kapica andBlank 1957, 1958). Maybe similar bic~chemical studies on the assimilative ability of our fungal isolates on human epidermal cells or sweat can elucidate the reasons for the predominant presence of yeasts on human dermal surfaces.…”
