Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Yeast, specifically the Candida species, is known to cause infections in warm, moist areas of the skin such as diaper rash, and in mucous membranes of the mouth (thrush) and vagina (yeast infection). Bacteria can also cause skin infections, but they typically occur in areas where the skin is broken or damaged. Viruses and protozoa are not typically associated with these types of infections.
