👉 Candidiopsis, also known as Candida albicans or Candida diffusa, is a genus of yeast-like fungi that cause candidiasis in humans and some animals. They are commonly found in the gut of humans, with their colonies often associated with the skin or under the nails. Candida albicans is particularly harmful for people because it can lead to skin infections, such as鹅口疮, while also causing gastrointestinal problems, such as diarrhea and dysentery.
