Debaryomyces hansenii
D. hansenii can tolerate extremely high salt concentrations. It is commonly found in cheeses, and on dry-meat products and sausages including common European delicacies such as Chorizo, Jamón ibérico, Salame di senise, Parma ham, and Vienna saussages. In patients with Crohn's disease, D. hansenii was found to impair healing processes of the gut mucosa. It is unclear whether D. hansenii can permanently settle in the gut since it is reported that it cannot grow at body temperature.
