Of these, Candida Albicans is one of the most aggressive and difficult to displace.

That's a fungus, not a bacteria.

True, my bad. While talking about bacteria I interchangeably used the wrong type of microorganism, in the right context - effect of antibiotics and probiotics on gut microflora.

Speaking of which - Vitamin B3 also seems to be a powerful antifungal that is being used or considered in conjunction with treatments of resistant Candida overgrowth.

In other words, then, there's a fungus among us.

Cheers!
