SUMMARY: Five strains of Candida albicans were isolated from the following vegetable sources: flowers of Ulex sp. (two strains), leaves of Myrtus communis, a sample of ‘hongo’ and a sample of sour red wine. The five strains show the characteristic properties of Candida Albicans including pathogenicity for rabbits. These isolations do not prove that the organism has a saprophytic free-living stage; only that it can at least survive outside and animal host for an appreciable time.
