Abstract

A prospective exploratory study was conducted to characterize the oral mycobiome at baseline and determine whether changes occur after admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). We found that ICU admission is associated with alterations in the oral mycobiome, including an overall increase in Candida albicans.
