Superficial infections of skin and mucosal membranes by Candida causing local inflammation and discomfort are common in many human populations.

In immunocompromised patients, Candida infections can affect the esophagus with the potential of becoming systemic, causing a much more serious condition, a fungemia called candidemia.

In extreme cases, these superficial infections of the skin or mucous membranes may enter into the bloodstream and cause systemic Candida infections.

The genus Candida includes about 150 different species ; however, only a few are known to cause human infections.

Other species of yeast, such as Candida albicans, are opportunistic pathogens and can cause infections in humans.

Yeasts of the Candida genus are another group of opportunistic pathogens that causes oral and vaginal infections in humans, known as candidiasis.

Candida glabrata is the second most common Candida pathogen after C. albicans, causing infections of the urogenital tract, and of the bloodstream ( candidemia ).

Additionally, pentamidine has good clinical activity in treating leishmaniasis, and yeast infections caused by the organism Candida albicans.

Candida albicans is a diploid fungus that grows both as yeast and filamentous cells and a causal agent of opportunistic oral and genital infections in humans.

Candidal intertrigo is an infection of the skin Candida albicans, more specifically located between intertriginous folds of adjacent skin, which can be present in the groin or scrotum, and be indistinguishable from fungal infections caused by Tinia.

) are effective against Tinea cruris, but not against Candida albicans, which requires an azole type drug, making azole drugs, effective against both types of infections, the first choice for topical treatment of infections of unknown etiology in intertriginous areas.

A wide variety of other infections has been reported on occasion, including Proteus mirabilis, enterococci and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, but it appears that Candida is the most common opportunistic invader in diaper areas.

Lactoferrin also acts against the Candida albicans – a diploid fungus ( a form of yeast ) that causes opportunistic oral and genital infections in humans.

This is especially relevant given that opportunistic Candida ( fungus ) infections can cause severe systemic infections in immunocompromised patients and current treatments are highly toxic, often result in drug-resistant Candida strains, and have low efficacy.

Tolnaftate is ineffective against Candida albicans, and thus ineffective against candidal intertrigo, which may sometimes masquerade as fungal infections by dermatophytic fungi that are typically the cause of tinea.

The former was the abbey of Cardinal Humbert of Silva Candida, who excommunicated the patriarch of Constantinople, Michael I Cerularius, in 1054, thus precipitating the Great Schism, and the latter was his own final resting place.

Candida yeasts are commonly present in humans, and their growth is normally limited by the human immune system and by other microorganisms, such as bacteria occupying the same locations in the human body.

Candida species are frequently part of the human body's normal oral and intestinal flora.

* The Saccharomycotina comprise most of the " true " yeasts, such as baker's yeast and Candida, which are single-celled ( unicellular ) fungi, which reproduce vegetatively by budding.

CF patients may also have their airways chronically colonized by filamentous fungi ( such as Aspergillus fumigatus, Scedosporium apiospermum, Aspergillus terreus ) and / or yeasts ( such as Candida albicans ); other filamentous fungi less commonly isolated include Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus nidulans ( occur transiently in CF respiratory secretions ), and Exophiala dermatitidis and Scedosporium prolificans ( chronic airway-colonizers ); some filamentous fungi like Penicillium emersonii and Acrophialophora fusispora are encountered in patients almost exclusively in the context of CF.

Again, in most cases, mixed bacteria are isolated ; the most common agents include cutaneous species such as Staphylococcus aureus, and coagulase-negative staphylococci, but many others are possible, including fungi such as Candida.

The best-studied of these are Candida species.

Some cases of pharyngitis are caused by fungal infection such as Candida albicans causing oral thrush.

This and other tests can be used to distinguish between vaginal symptoms related to G. vaginalis from those caused by other organisms, such as Trichomonas and Candida albicans, which are similar and may require different treatment.

The pH balance in adolescent girls ' bodies is not conducive to the growth of Candida albicans, so they are unlikely to contract a yeast infection.

The sequencing of the C. albicans genome and subsequently of the genomes of several other medically relevant Candida species has profoundly and irreversibly changed the way Candida species are now investigated and understood.

Other Candida genome sequences have been, or are being, determined: C. glabrata, C. dubliniensis, C. parapsilosis, C. guilliermondii, C. lusitaniae, and C. tropicalis.

Some other contributing fungi are Candida albicans, Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Epidermophyton floccosum.

Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms are reported to exhibit direct anti-microbial properties with the following organisms ; Aspergillus niger, Bacillus cereus, Candida albicans, and Escherichia coli.

Wall's large-scale images and studied compositions are regarded as influential on the Düsseldorf group led by Andreas Gursky, Thomas Struth, Thomas Ruff, and Candida Höfer.

Other possible etiological agents implicated are HPV, Candida albicans and possibly alcohol.

Antibacterials can also affect the vaginal flora, and may lead to overgrowth of yeast species of the genus Candida in the vulvo-vaginal area.

The play was first produced on April 21, 1894 at the Avenue Theatre, and published in 1898 as part of Shaw's Plays Pleasant volume, which also included Candida, You Never Can Tell, and The Man of Destiny.

A second analysis of cauim made from rice and manioc also showed the presence of yeasts, chiefly Candida tropicalis.

Candida albicans could also be completely eradicated with a mixture containing lactoferrin, lysozyme and introakonazol in HIV-positive patients who were resistant to other antifungal drugs.

Classical revivals also proved popular with Broadway theatre-goers, notably John Barrymore in Hamlet and Richard III, John Gielgud in Hamlet, The Importance of Being Earnest and Much Ado About Nothing, Walter Hampden and Jose Ferrer in Cyrano de Bergerac, Paul Robeson and Ferrer in Othello, Maurice Evans in Richard II and the plays of George Bernard Shaw, and Katharine Cornell in such plays as Romeo and Juliet, Antony and Cleopatra, and Candida

The song was released as a single in November 1970, paired with Orlando's other hit song, " Candida " ( also written by Toni Wine ).

Oral candidiasis ( also known as " thrush ") is an infection of yeast fungi of the genus Candida on the mucous membranes of the mouth.

Kittson also played several other characters, including ditzy gym nut Candida Royale and sinister flight attendant Rose McCloud.

The two most commonly used yeasts are Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe, although research is also done in the pathological yeast Candida albicans.

( This section of the Commentariolum also corresponds to a section of In Toga Candida.

It was published as a part of Plays Pleasant, which also included Arms and the Man, Candida and You Never Can Tell.

In a Candida utils strain, one regulatory a one non-regulatory trehalase were also reported.

It is most commonly caused by Candida species ( also known as Candidemia, Candedemia, and Invasive Candidiasis ), but can be caused by other fungi as well, including Saccharomyces, Aspergillus and Cryptococcus.
