Candida albicans is one of the most commonly isolated species and can cause infections (candidiasis or thrush) in humans and other animals. In winemaking, some species of Candida can potentially spoil wines. [4] Many species are found in gut flora, including C. albicans in mammalian hosts, whereas others live as endosymbionts in insects.

A. candida may refer to: An abbreviation of a species name. In binomial nomenclature the name of a species is always the name of the genus to which the species belongs, followed by the species name (also called the species epithet). In A. candida the genus name has been abbreviated to A. and the species has been spelled out in full. In a ...
Candida parapsilosis is a fungal species of yeast that has become a significant cause of sepsis and of wound and tissue infections in immunocompromised people. Unlike Candida albicans and Candida tropicalis, C. parapsilosis is not an obligate human pathogen, having been isolated from nonhuman sources such as domestic animals, insects and soil. [1]
[11] [86] Especially once candida cells are introduced in the bloodstream a high mortality, up to 40–60% can occur. [11] [87] Although Candida albicans is the most common cause of candidemia, there has been a decrease in the incidence and an increased isolation of non-albicans species of Candida in recent years. [88]
The abbreviation "spp." (plural) indicates "several species". These abbreviations are not italicised (or underlined). [60] [61] For example: "Canis sp." means "an unspecified species of the genus Canis", while "Canis spp." means "two or more species of the genus Canis". (These abbreviations should not be confused with the abbreviations "ssp ...
Some species (e.g. Metschnikowia species) tend to form chains of budding cells that are termed pseudohyphae. [2] Yet other species are able to produce true septate hyphae. [4] Such species (e.g. Candida albicans) are termed dimorphic, which means they can propagate both as budding yeasts and as filamentous hyphae.
Candidiasis is a fungal infection due to any species of the genus Candida (a yeast). [4] When it affects the mouth, in some countries it is commonly called thrush. [3] Signs and symptoms include white patches on the tongue or other areas of the mouth and throat. [3]
