Horses are characterized by a very high incidence of mycoses in comparison with most livestock companion animals. They are highly susceptible to asymptomatic infections caused by yeast-like but the carrier state may be disrupted under the influence of autogenic and allogenic factors, above leads to severe organ mycoses, often with an acute form of infection. "Carrier horses" may act as vectors which transmit potential pathogens between individuals and species. The aim of udy was to identify yeast-like fungi and yeast colonizing the ontocenoses of healthy horses and îrmine the factors which affect the frequency of pathogen isolation. It was noted that the age of rses influenced the frequency of isolating fungi and the species diversity of obtained isolated, onomical spectrum of fungi also varied depending on the season (in the autumn: 37 species, in ig: 8 species). The results of the experiment indicate that fungi colonizing the mucosa and limais have a broad taxonomic spectrum. The prevalent fungi were members of the genera epresented by 12 species, and Saccharomyces, represented by 5 species. The most frequent-...isolated species were: Candida krusei (49 isolates) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (40 isolates). Many species have been isolated from horses for the first time, which indicates the scarcity of research in this area and the need for routine observations of the mycological environment of stables.
