I will help you to understand.
The study is trying to prove how the intestinal indigenous flora recover after a period of
Antibiotic intake in presence of candida albicans. In this case, it isn't the simple fact that
Antibiotics disrupt the "normal flora" but the incidence of a secondary microbe. Candida Albicans isn't a "normal" resident of the intestinal tract in mouses since their flora offer an strong antagonism to it.
This study proofs that after
Antibiotic intake disrupting the indegenous flora, in presence of candida albicans, the flora don't recover to its similar prior state. In other words, the presence of candida selects for bacterial species that weren't dominant or abundant prior
Antibiotic intake. Candida favors pathogenic and troublemaker bacterial species leading to an intestinal bacterial dysbiosis after candida colonization. We can guess that there are people who recovers the intestinal flora even after a long antibiotic intake period because they have few or no candida spores living in their intestines. Without the presence of candida, the "normal" flora may return to its original levels and DIVERSITY without a considerable variation even when offended by
Antibiotics .
I have read some articles about how candida impedes LAB colonization. Taking pharmaceutical probiotics and fermented food with candida present in high amounts in the gut, probably won't accomplish its goal of assisting gut modulation or colonization. Trust me, this article is awesome.
