Yeast feed on sugars such as glucose and fructose, or sucrose and maltose. Some species can metabolize pentose sugars like ribose, alcohols, and organic acids.
I don't think they 'feed' on bacteria.

What is the Different between yeast and bacteria?
Yeast is a fungal organism, while bacteria is a bacterial organism. Both occur naturally, and have good and bad forms. The yeast used in bread making, as well as the mushrooms we eat are good (safe) forms of fungi. The ones that can cause illness are the ones like "thrush", a yeast infection of the mouth and throat, and poisonous mushrooms. The human body has "good" bacteria that is important to the digestion tract; we need the "good" bacteria to keep the "bad" bacteria under control. The "good" bacteria can be found in foods like cultured yogurt. The "bad" bacteria is seen in infections, such as a cut that may not have been disinfected properly.
What are the differences between yeast and bacteria?
Yeast is a fungi, bacteria is a moneran.
What are some examples of bacteria and is it good or bad?
Some examples of good bacteria is yeast for the bread most of us eat, but bacteria can also be bad. Some bad bacteria is E.Coli. which tears our insides apart, or makes us veryyyyy sick. Some examples of good bacteria is yeast for the bread most of us eat, but bacteria can also be bad. Some bad bacteria is E.Coli. which tears our insides apart, or makes us veryyyyy sick. Good bacteria is freindlly and benefical microorganism that lives in the body to keep the body healty.

Yeast and Bacteria. :)
Is thrush a virus fungi or bacteria?
Thrush is caused by an overgrowth of yeast, often caused by use of antibiotics killing off good bacteria (as well as the bad).
Can medication cause thrush?
Good question, but not usually. The common medicines that can cause yeast infections are antibiotics. Your vagina has a very tempermental pH balance of good bacteria and yeast. Both are there all the time, the yeast grows and the good bacteria eats it. They naturally maintain a healthy level of each. However, when you take antibiotics, this medicine kills off any kind of bacteria, even the good kind living in your vagina. Now, this is good because it will kill the infection for which it was prescribed, but will also kill off good bacteria- leaving nothing to balance out the yeast. The yeast builds up and causes a yeast infection. Pain killers shouldn't disrupt the balance of yeast and good bacteria so you should be safe.

Why fo you get BV after a yeast infection?
Bacterial Vaginosis and yeast infections often go hand-in hand, it's very common to have both infections at once. Your vagina is acidic to kill 'bad' bacteria and help the 'good' bacteria (such as the bacteria that help keep yeast under control) thrive, if your vaginal pH is off-balance it's normal to develop overgrowth of 'bad' bacteria and as the 'good' bacteria is reduced yeast is also allowed to thrive.
What food has a bacteria?
the helpfull food is very good it has yeast with helps bread grow
Can you get a yeast infection from medications?
You can get it from that, yes. Antibiotics kill all the bacteria incl the good ones.
Name some helpful bacteria?
This is not entirely true. It is shown that Yeast is not a form of Bacteria Yeast is in the Kingdom Fungi, therefore it is a type of fungus. Some helpful bacteria is yeast.
Is yeast a bacteria?
Although yeast and bacteria are both unicellular organisms, yeast is not a bacterium. Yeast is considered to belong to the Fungus kingdom.
Can you get a yeast infection from using amoxicillin?
No, eating yogurt while taking Amoxicillin might actually help prevent getting a yeast infection since the Amoxicillin is killing all the bacteria in your digestive tract including the good bacteria. Yogurt adds more good bacteria to your digestive tract.
Does biaxin cause yeast infections?
Biaxin, as well as other antibiotics, can cause yeast infections. This occurs when the antibiotic eliminates the "normal" or good bacteria.
