Book synopsis

Excerpt from The Yeast-Like Fungi of the Human Intestinal Tract The fungi as contrasted with the bacteria are relatively unimportant in animal pathology. However, some of the earliest attempts to associate micro-organisms with disease resulted in the discovery of fungi as their causal agents. The fungi causing thrush and ringworm were known and well described before any of the pathogenic bacteria had been isolated. During the last quarter of the 19th century the bacterial diseases have taken much of the time of students of human pathology and it has been only during the last 15 or 20 years that they have again turned their attention to the less important fungous diseases. Interest has been centered largely in those diseases grouped under the general name blastomycoses, so called because the organisms concerned have, at some stage in their life history, budding vegetative cells. The budding or yeast-like fungi have been so constantly associated with various diseases within recent years and so much confusion exists concerning their life histories and proper botanical position, that it has been thought worth while to make a special study of these organisms from a mycologic standpoint. It was first considered essential to ascertain whether or not the budding fungi were present in the human body, their relative abundance under normal and abnormal conditions and their relation to each other and to the pathogenic blastomycetes isolated by other investigators. The objects of the present investigation were therefore: 1. To determine the presence or absence and the relative abundance of yeast-like fungi in the normal alimentary tract. 2. To compare the number and kinds isolated from the normal alimentary tract with those found in persons suffering from gastrointestinal disturbances.
