Candida
is yeast that causes one of the most common epidemic
sort of infection worldwide. It is usually
present in any human body along with the many other
microorganisms. Candida is a member of normal flora of
skin, mouth, vagina, and stool.
Candida
has around 154 species. Though out of these six of the
Candida
species are not what cause the most difficult to
deal infections. The most significant cause to the
Candida infection is the specie of Candida albicans. But
the other species of
Candida tropicalis, Candida glabrata, Candida
parapsilosis, Candida krusei, and Candida lusitaniae do
contribute to increase your problems in the body if
their number reaches the out of control stage. And it is
these different species apart from Candida albicans that
are the reason to the expansion of these
infections.
Candida infections are
called candidiasis and they are caused by a number
of host factors of the likes of unhealthy diet, genetic factors,
stress and weak immune or even the intake of antibiotics. These
host factors disturb the natural flora leading to the
infection usually and commonly caused by the Candida
albicans.
There
is an increasing incidence of infections caused by C.
glabrata, which could be because it is frequently less
susceptible to the currently used azole
antifungals. Other medically important Candida species
include C. parapsilosis, C. tropicalis, and C.
dubliniensis.
The
parent types of
Candida are Candida parapsilosis, Candida tropicalis
- can also cause infection and Candida vini. Candidiasis
usually include the types of mouth
conditions, nosocomial
infections, Vagina
conditions, Skin
conditions, Esophagus
diseases. The sub types of the infection are
Cutaneous
Candidiasis - skin candidiasis, Thrush
- mouth infection, Vaginal
candidiasis , Penile
candidiasis - less common but possible in
men, Pulmonary candidiasis - lung infection, Esophagus
candidiasis , Invasive
candidiasis - severe type mostly in immune
suppressed patients, Atrophic candidiasis - oral
infection ,Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis,
Endocardial candidiasis and Paronychia
- affecting the nails.
The
infections or candidiasis are usually a combination of
weak immune along with other factors that support the
growth of candida albicans present in the human flora.
The recent addition in the Candida specie
which causes candidiasis is candida glabrata. With the
ever increasing population of immune compromised folks,
trends have shown Candida glabrata to be a highly
opportunistic pathogen of the urogenital tract, and of
the bloodstream. It is especially prevalent in HIV
positive people, and the elderly.
A
holistic Candida
cleanse is the most effective approach you can use
in your treatment plan for any Candida specie
led infection.
