A finding of „fungus in the intestine" is quite normal. The fungal flora in the intestine is quite colourful. The fungal flora is significantly regulated by the existing bacterial flora in the intestine. And vice versa, fungi in the intestine, i.e. the mycobiome, influence the composition of the microbiome, so that some pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella and Listeria are eliminated. So they act like probiotics. Fungi in the gut are associated with allergies to inhaled or orally ingested antigens. A multiplication of the fungi in the intestine increases the risk of infections, either by carry-over or perhaps by invasion. So even large amounts of fungi in the faeces should by no means be interpreted as „intestinal mycosis". Fungi in the gut bring a number of benefits to the wearer, but also some risks. Since the mycobiome was only described comprehensively a few years ago, it can be assumed that many points that are still unclear today will gradually be clarified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
