Abstract

Candida causes candidiasis. The genus Candida contains about 200 different species, but only a small proportion of Candida are dangerous and cause more external or internal diseases when they enter the body. Candida albicans is a ubiquitous pathogen, associated with many bacteria in the mouth, throat, and intestines. The immune system and the bacteria present are monitored for Candida, and damage to the immune system or changes in the bacteria can cause Candida to become infected. In general, these infections are limited to the mouth, genital area, and skin, but people with cancer or other serious diseases, such as HIV, have very weak immune systems which make them suffer from more serious diseases.
