Candidiasis or thrush is a fungal infection ( mycosis ) of any of the Candida species ( all yeasts ), of which Candida albicans is the most common.

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 dubliniensis is a fungal opportunistic pathogen originally isolated from AIDS patients.

It is a dimorphic yeast of the genus Candida, very closely related to Candida albicans but forming a distinct phylogenetic cluster in DNA fingerprinting.

Candida dubliniensis is cosmopolitan ( found around the world ), and has been described as a separate species in 1995.

Retrospective studies have shown that previously it had been commonly identified as Candida albicans, with which C. dubliniensis is closely related and shares a number of characteristics.

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.

It is frequently caused by Candida albicans, or less commonly by Candida glabrata or Candida tropicalis.

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

The yeast is most commonly Candida milleri.

Dermatophytes are the fungi most commonly responsible for onychomycosis in the temperate western countries ; while Candida and nondermatophytic molds are more frequently involved in the tropics and subtropics with a hot and humid climate.

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.

The most commonly known pathogen is Candida albicans, causing roughly 70 % of fungemias, followed by Candida glabrata with 10 %, Aspergillus with 1 % and Saccharomyces as the fourth most common.

Because of this, blood-borne microorganisms ( Hepatitis B, HIV ), organisms associated with sexually transmitted disease ( e. g., Gonorrhoea and Chlamydia ), and normal fauna of the genito-urinary tract ( e. g., Candida ) are among those commonly seen in infection of newborns.

Yeasts, including Candida albicans, Rhodotorula rubra, Torulopsis and Trichosporon cutaneum, have been found living in between people's toes as part of their skin flora.

Species of yeast found in the tea can vary, and may include: Brettanomyces bruxellensis, Candida stellata, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Torulaspora delbrueckii and Zygosaccharomyces bailii.

The heterozygosity of the Candida genome exceeds that found in other genomes and is widespread among clinical isolates.

( 2003 ) found that colonization with Candida albicans was significantly more likely in children with symptomatic diaper rash than without.

( Orlando had released a single, " Candida "— performed with session vocalists Toni Wine and Linda November backing him, in late 1970, under the name Dawn ; when the single charted, Orlando found himself needing to assemble an actual backing group to tour and record with.

In her New York City laboratory, Hazen cultured organisms found in soil samples and tested their ability to fight against two fungi: Cryptococcus neoformans, a fungus responsible for the chronic disease cryptococcosis, which affects lungs, skin, and other body parts like the central nervous system, and Candida albicans, which causes candidiasis, which can be minor in some cases ( e. g. a vaginal yeast infection ), or a serious infection in patients treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics.

In one study a specially designed mutant of Candida Antarctica was found to be an effective catalyst for the Michael addition of acrolein with acetylacetone at 20 ° C in absence of additional solvent.

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 KOH dissolves the skin cells, but leaves the Candida cells intact, permitting visualization of pseudohyphae and budding yeast cells typical of many Candida species.

Some fungi, such as the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans, can undergo phenotypic switching and grow as single cells in some environments, and filamentous hyphae in others.

* Infection with Candida albicans ( candidiasis or " yeast infection ")

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

Secreted by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, this compound induces cyclo heteromorphic cells in several species of bacteria and the yeast Candida albicans.

* 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.

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