From [Candida]

…A disease caused by infection with a fungus of the Candida genus. The most common cause is Candida albicans . This fungus is always present in the oral cavity, digestive tract, vagina, etc. of healthy people, but no disease will develop if the balance of power between the fungus and the human is maintained. …

From [Antibiotics]

…(7) Bacterial replacement Various bacteria live in the oral cavity, upper respiratory tract, digestive tract, vagina, etc. in a certain ratio and play a physiological role, but this ratio is disrupted by the administration of antibiotics due to differences in drug sensitivity, resulting in bacterial replacement. Known symptoms include staphylococcal enteritis (when broad-spectrum antibiotics are administered, resistant staphylococci grow in the intestinal tract and cause enteritis), candidiasis (when large amounts of antibiotics are used for a long period of time in patients with weakened resistance, intestinal candidiasis may occur due to the mold Candida albicans ), and pseudomembranous enteritis (a bacterial replacement enteritis caused by anaerobic resistant clostridium, which may cause fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and even death). (8) Side effects of antitumor antibiotics Currently used anticancer drugs also act on normal tissues where cell division is active, so they inevitably have side effects such as white blood cell reduction, decreased immunity, gastrointestinal disorders, and hair loss. …

From [Yeast]

…Fruits, vegetables, fermented foods, and natural cheese are good sources of yeast, but it can also be isolated from soil, river water, and seawater. Candida albicans is the causative agent of so-called candidiasis, and is isolated from the mucous membranes and skin of patients with this disease. Currently, there are about 60 genera and about 450 species that fall into the yeast category. …

From [Fungal skin infections]

...In Japan, Trichophyton rubrum and T. mentagrophytes are the two major causative fungi of dermatophytosis. Most cases of cutaneous candidiasis are caused by infection with Candida albicans . Infantile parasitic fungal erythema, intertrigo-type candidiasis, interdigital erosion, and paronychia/onychia are relatively common forms of the disease. ...
