Case Presentation: A 1.5-year-old tiger (Panthera tigris) was presented with lameness of the left thoracic limb.

Candida species isolated from the gastrointestinal tract of cockatiels (Nymphicus hollandicus): In vitro antifungal susceptibility profile and phospholipase activity.

Over the past years, the incidence of yeast infections, especially candidiasis, has increased. It is known that birds, including cockatiels, harbor potentially pathogenic yeasts to human beings in their gastrointestinal tract. Thus, this work aims at determining the in vitro antifungal susceptibility and phospholipase activity of Candida spp.
