Unexpected Diversity of Yeast Species in Esophageal Mycosis of Waterfowls

This study was performed to evaluate the diversity and prevalence of yeasts associated with esophageal mycosis in domestic ducks and geese. Fungi were isolated from esophageal lesions of dead animals sent for microbiologic laboratory diagnosis. Species identification using a culture-dependent method was carried out by sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS)1-5.8S rRNA-ITS2 region. The most frequently isolated yeast was Candida albicans (43.1%) followed by Saccharomyces cerevisiae (17.6%), Candida kefyr (11.7%), Kazachstania bovina (11.7%), Candida lambica (3.9%), and single isolates (1.9%) representing Candida inconspicua, Candida rugosa, Candida pelliculosa, Candida krusei, Magnusiomyces capitatus, and Trichosporon asahii. Our results indicate that a number of potentially pathogenic yeast species can be isolated from esophageal mycosis of waterfowls, but additional studies are needed to make conclusions regarding their possible etiologic role in disease.
