Torulopsis glabrata, like a number of other yeasts and yeastlike fungi commonly associated with the human body, has been suspected of causing disease. It is an occasional inhabitant of the oral, gastrointestinal, and urinary tracts and most isolates have been obtained from human sources. Wickerham (1957) has presented the identifying characteristics of this yeast, and suggested its recognition as a potential pathogen. Although Wickerham indicated that he had identified strains of T. glabrata isolated from blood cultures, references to these cases were not given.
