Abstract We report a case of fungemia in an immunocompetent patient after administration of probiotic containing Saccharomyces boulardii . We demonstrated the strain relatedness of the yeast from the probiotic capsule and the yeast causing fungal infection using genomic and proteomic typing methods. Our study questions the safety of this preventative biotherapy.
