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

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

Almost 15 % of people with weakened immune systems develop a systemic illness caused by Candida species.

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.

The genus Candida and species C. albicans were described by botanist Christine Marie Berkhout in her doctoral thesis at the University of Utrecht in 1923.

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

Many slight variants have been discovered since then, including various alternative mitochondrial codes, and small variants such as translation of the codon UGA as tryptophan in Mycoplasma species, and translation of CUG as a serine rather than a leucine in some members of the genus Candida ( see the article on Candida albicans ).

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

Most were members of the Candida genus ; the most common species in honey stomachs was Dekkera intermedia and in flower nectaries, Candida blankii.

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

Some dimorphic species, such as Candida albicans, can switch between growth as single cells and as filamentous, multicellular hyphae.

Yeasts for small colonies in vitro and in vivo, and excessive growth of Candida species in the mouth or vagina causes " thrush ", a form of 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.

Sertraline demonstrated anti-fungal activity against Candida species in vivo.

The best-studied of these are Candida species.

Resveratrol has been shown to be ineffective in inhibiting the growth of the yeast Candida albicans and other Candida species.

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

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.

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 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.

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

* 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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Candida, a comedy by playwright George Bernard Shaw, was written in 1894 and first published in 1898, as part of his Plays Pleasant.

For her part, Candida is " very immoral " and completely misreads Eugene's transformation over the course of the play.

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