Candida is oval, with spores and pseudohyphae formed by cell germination and elongation. Candida is not heat-tolerant, and can die when heated to 60℃ 1 hour. But it is very resistant to dryness, sunlight, ultraviolet rays and chemicals.

Candida is the most common conditional pathogen in fungi. Often parasitic on human skin, mouth, vagina and intestinal mucosa, it is easy to cause candidiasis when the immune function of the body is low or the microecological environment in normal living places is unbalanced.

Extended data;

Candida is a kind of fungi and the most common pathogen in fungi. Microscopically, it is oval, with spores and pseudohyphae formed by cell germination and elongation.

When the body's immunity declines or the microecological environment in which it normally inhabits is unbalanced, it is easy to cause candidiasis, which is often parasitic on human skin, mouth and vagina, and different infection sites can also cause different diseases. However, the resistance of candida to heat is not strong, and it can be killed when heated above 60 degrees.

Candidiasis is the most common fungal disease, which can invade the skin surface and cause visceral and systemic infections in severe cases. It mainly includes chronic, subacute and acute infections caused by Candida albicans. Due to the extensive use of antibiotics, hormones and immunosuppressants, the incidence rate is getting higher and higher, and it has serious life-threatening consequences.

There are many diseases caused by candida, such as cutaneous candidiasis, mucosal candidiasis, visceral candidiasis and candidal vaginitis. Among them, serious candidal vaginitis will lead to infertility, affect the life of husband and wife, affect fetal development, and even cause other diseases. Therefore, most people, especially women, may be infected with post-candida all their lives, but they can recover quickly after treatment.
