Presence and distribution of yeasts in the reproductive tract in healthy female horses

Abstract: Candida spp., in particular C. krusei, represent important flora resident in the caudal reproductive tract in healthy female horses. This is particularly important in contexts that require the initiation of empirical treatment prior to the completion of culture results.

“…Those findings are important for three reasons: (1) fungal endometritis in horses is rare, representing 1–5% of the reported cases [ 31 ]; (2) in a robust retrospective study of a 13-year period on equine uterine fungal isolates, yeasts were the most common fungal agents (69%, 70/102), but no information about the genera and species were given [ 32 ]; and (3) in a study with 453 samples from the reproductive tract of healthy mares, no isolates from those two agents were found, despite Candida spp. being the most frequent genus isolated (53.2%), suggesting they are not part of the normal microbiota [ 33 ].…”

“…85 Similarly, C. krusei has been isolated from droppings of healthy breeding rheas, chickens and hens, 86,87 and from the vestibule and vagina of healthy female horses. 88 The C. krusei-Immune System Interaction Similar to other pathogens, the C. krusei recognition and interaction with components of the host immunity is required to establish a response that could protect against the infection. Both the innate and adaptive branches of immunity are essential to control fungal pathogens, including C. albicans and other causative agents of candidiasis.…”

“…Research on infection of the reproductive system of male animals has received less attention. However, most of the studies regarding flora of the genital systems in animals have been in females including cows, horses, camels and dogs (Azarvandi et al., 2017a , 2017b ; Cleff et al., 2005 , 2001 ; Massoud Talebkhan Garoussi et al., 2007 ; Różański et al., 2013a , 2013b ; Shokri et al., 2010 ; Talebkhan Garoussi et al., 2008 ). Several studies have been performed exploring disorders of the female genital system and nongenital systems in cats (Garoussi et al., 2016 ; Khosravi et al., 2008 ).…”
