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

* 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.

The yeasts Candida milleri or Saccharomyces exiguus usually populate sourdough cultures symbiotically with Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis.

A kombucha culture may contain one or more of the yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Brettanomyces bruxellensis, Candida stellata, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Torulaspora delbrueckii, and Zygosaccharomyces bailii.

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

Candida infections of the latter category are also referred to as candidemia and are usually confined to severely immunocompromised persons, such as cancer, transplant, and AIDS patients, as well as nontrauma emergency surgery patients.

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

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

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.

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.

) 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.

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.

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.

Candida is commonly found as a commensal yeast in the mucus membranes of humans and other warm-blooded animals.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

While clearly attributable to the presence of the opportunistic pathogens of the genus Candida, candidiasis describes a number of different disease syndromes that often differ in their causes and outcomes.

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.

Many prominent actors began their careers with the Arthur Brough Players, including Peter Barkworth, who appeared in The Guinea Pig in 1948: Eric Lander, later a star of the TV series No Hiding Place, in 1949: Polly James in the 1960s: and Anne Stallybrass, who started out as ASM in 1960 and went on to play Ida the maid in Pool's Paradise by Philip King ; as well as appearing in The Aspern Papers, Candida, and A Taste of Honey at the little Folkestone theatre.

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.

Authors such as the Venerable Concepcion Cabrera de Armida and Blessed Maria Candida of the Eucharist have produced large volumes of text based on their Eucharistic meditations.

* Candidal onychomycosis is Candida species invasion of the fingernails, usually occurring in persons who frequently immerse their hands in water.

Their first quasi-official release was a compilation cassette under the name of " Ñ, Sonidos Nuevos Desde Puebla " ( 1993 ) featuring other bands from their hometown ( like Unión Libre, La Candida Eréndira, Metafora, La Viuda and Sátira ).
