What Researchers Did
Researchers investigated the in vitro growth features of Candida albicans under various hyperbaric oxygen levels and exposure times.
What They Found
They found that Candida albicans growth was inhibited within a pressure/time range well tolerated by human subjects. This suggests hyperbaric oxygen might be a successful treatment for human candidiasis.
Canadian Relevance
This study has no direct Canadian connection.
Study Limitations
The primary limitation is that these findings are based on in vitro experiments and require further human clinical trials to confirm efficacy.
