108. The yeasts: Candida part 1, overview and superficial candidiasis

ID:IOTS - Infectious Disease Insight Of Two Specialists

About this episode

In this episode there will be puns where you yeast expect them...

But more seriously, what does Candida albicans actually mean? What are yeasts anyway? How does this all relate to the Romans?

These questions, and more, will be answered as Alyssa and Callum continue the Fungal series with this, the first in a 3-parter on all things Candida!

In this episode we cover the Taxonomy (newly confusing), Epidemiology and Pathogenesis of Candida spp. before talking about superficial candidiasis.

Look out for upcoming episodes on invasive Candidiasis and C. auris!
