Antibiotics promote yeast (fungal) infections, including gastrointestinal (GI) Candida overgrowth and penetration of the GI mucosa. [9] While women are more susceptible to genital yeast infections, men can also be infected. Certain factors, such as prolonged antibiotic use, increase the risk for both men and women.
Meyerozyma guilliermondii (formerly known as Pichia guilliermondii until its rename in 2010) is a species of yeast of the genus Meyerozyma whose asexual or anamorphic form is known as Candida guilliermondii. Candida guilliermondii has been isolated from numerous human infections, mostly of cutaneous origin, if only from immunosuppressed patients.
Candida tropicalis is a species of yeast in the genus Candida. It is a common pathogen in neutropenic hosts, in whom it may spread through the bloodstream to peripheral organs. [1] For invasive disease, treatments include amphotericin B, echinocandins, or extended-spectrum triazole antifungals. [2]
Invasive candidiasis is an infection (candidiasis) that can be caused by various species of Candida yeast. Unlike Candida infections of the mouth and throat (oral candidiasis) or vagina (Candidal vulvovaginitis), invasive candidiasis is a serious, progressive, and potentially fatal infection that can affect the blood (), heart, brain, eyes, bones, and other parts of the body.
Listed under the 'Rare Diseases' database on the NIH web site [verification needed], Torulopsis glabrata, or N. glabratus can also be found on the CDC's web site. [6] Although listed as the second most virulent yeast after Candida albicans , the fungus is becoming more and more resistant to common treatments like fluconazole .
Kluyveromyces marxianus is not usually an agent of human disease, although infection in humans can occur in immunocompromised individuals. [15] This species has been associated with candidemia [16] and has been recovered from catheters. [17] It has also found in biofilms on other indwelling devices such as pacemakers and prosthetic heart valves ...
Malassezia is a genus of fungi (specifically, a yeast). Some species of Malassezia are found on the skin of animals, including humans. Because malassezia requires fat to grow, [ 3 ] it is most common in areas with many sebaceous glands —on the scalp, [ 4 ] face, and upper part of the body.
Pichia kudriavzevii (formerly Candida krusei [1] [2]) is a budding yeast (a species of fungus) involved in chocolate production. P. kudriavzevii is an emerging fungal nosocomial pathogen [3] primarily found in the immunocompromised and those with hematological malignancies. It has natural resistance to fluconazole, a standard antifungal agent ...
