Overview
In 1839, B. Lagenbeck from Germany described a yeast-like fungus for the first time in the human oral infection thrush and its ability to cause it.
Historical Perspective
- In 1839, B. Lagenbeck from Germany described a yeast-like fungus for the first time in the human oral infection thrush and its ability to cause it.[1]
- In 1923 the Candida albicans was described by Christine Marie Berkhout. Over the years the classification of the genera and species has evolved. Obsolete names for this genus include Mycotorula and Torulopsis. The species has also been known in the past as Monilia albicans and Oidium albicans. The current classification is nomen conservandum, which means the name is authorized for use by the International Botanical Congress (IBC).
- The full current taxonomic classification is available at Candida albicans.
- The genus Candida includes about 150 different species. However, only a few of those are known to cause human infections. c. albicans is the most significant pathogenic (disease-causing) species. Other Candida species causing diseases in humans include c. tropicalis, c. glabrata, c. krusei, c. parapsilosis, c. dubliniensis, and c. lusitaniae.
