What is candida and how do you get it?

Candida albicans is a diploid fungus (a form of yeast) and can cause oral and genital infections in humans. We all normally have the candida in our systems from birth but they are usually kept check by the good bacteria in our bodies. To prevent the candida or any yeast infection from occuring, take two chewable acidophilus a day to support the good bacteria. Also, anytime you take antibiotics, you should also take the acidophilus to keep the good bacteria alive.
