  1. genus candida

    Genus Candida is a group of yeast species which is part of the fungal kingdom. It is characterized by its ability to appear as either yeast (unicellular) or mycelial (multicellular) forms. Species under this genus are known to be opportunistic pathogens, causing infections in humans (Candidiasis) that can range from superficial skin infections to life-threatening systemic diseases. The most common species causing human infections is Candida albicans, but others like Candida glabrata, Candida tropicalis, and Candida parapsilosis are also known to be pathogenic.
