An acceleration of the elimination of transfused human (Hu) red blood cells (RBC) was found in C.B-17 scid (SCID) mice that were kept in our facility. Yeast like organisms were isolated from their tap water just as a pure culture and the two isolates SW5 and SW6 were assigned to be Candida guilliermondii by analysing their generic small subunit ribosomal RNA sequences. To test whether the isolates are infectious in mice, we inoculated SCID and BALB/c mice orally with SW5 and observed them for 63 and 48 days, respectively. The yeasts were frequently recovered from oral swabs, feces and their tap water throughout the experiment. Although none of the mice developed clinical signs or histopathological changes, a positive sero-conversion was confirmed in 4 of 5 SW5-inoculated BALB/c mice. Moreover, a significant acceleration of Hu-RBC elimination in all of the SW5-infected SCID mice was demonstrated. We believe this to be the first report of an inapparent but significant outbreak of C. guilliermondii infection in mice.
