There are different types of fungal infections.A yeast infection is a specific type of fungal infection (candida yeast).
A toxin-mediated infection is caused when a living organism is consumed with food (as in the case of an infection). Once the organism is inside the human body, it produces a toxin that causes the illness. Toxin-mediated infection is different from an intoxication because the toxin is produced inside the human body. An example of an organism that causes this type of illness is Clostridium perfringens.
Baker's yeast is a living organism commonly used in baking to help dough rise. It is a type of fungus that is alive and actively metabolizing sugars to produce carbon dioxide gas, which causes the dough to expand and rise.
Yes, The yeast that causes jock itch and athletes foot is exactly the same as the yeast that causes Vaginal yeast infections. Humans typically are infected only with one certain type of yeast. The medications are the same drug, but they are prepared differently so they have different PH depending on what part of the body they are intended for.
The white is just your discharge. During a yeast infection an overgrowth of yeast (which is a fungus) changes your discharge to a thick white cottage-cheese type discharge.
Yeast
A yeast (candidal) infection of the skin or a mucous membrane, such as the mouth, often produces a white cheesy material at the infection site. This type of infection, known as thrush.
Candidiasis, commonly called yeast infection or thrush, is a fungal infection (mycosis) of any of the Candida species, of which Candida albicans is the most common.
