    GlossaryCandida

    yeast causing infections when overgrown in the body

    Candida is a type of yeast that naturally lives in small amounts in the human body, particularly in the mouth, gut, and on the skin. While it is usually harmless, an overgrowth can lead to infections such as oral thrush or vaginal yeast infections, and in severe cases, it can cause systemic infections, especially in immunocompromised individuals.
