   It is kind of like bacteria in the sense that it is a microscopic organism. It’s actually a fungus.
   Generally it doesn’t cause problems for people however it does live on our skin and can sometimes cause mild infections. Wiki has a great article about it.

   It is indeed a fungus. Candida is a fungus that lives in various parts of our body, particularly our throat and vagina. Good bacteria in our body usually keeps yeast from growing out of control, but when the environment is disrupted, Candida can grow out of control causing infection.

   Candidiasis is a very popular infection that half the people in the world will suffer from at one point or another; however, this infection can easily be treated and if you do things right, you can even prevent it from happening to you.
