Candida albicans

Description
This is another yeast,, Candida albicans. It is normal flora of the vagina. When women take broad-spectrum antibiotics, they often develop a vaginal yeast infection because the bacteria that are also normal flora are destroyed. The bacteria are no longer keeping the pH of the vagina slightly acidic and the yeast begin to thrive, causing an infection.
