The involvement of MC1R in a rat model of Candida albicans vaginitis was investigated. Slr1 was found exert control on the polarized growth in Candida albicans. Colonization of Candida albicans is caused by poor oral hygiene. Filamentation in "Candida albicans" is a very complex process. Two of these compounds are responsible for the antimicrobial activity against "Candida albicans". Other common fungal infections include infections by the yeast strain Candida albicans. The biofilm of "Candida albicans" is formed in four steps. Infection with "Staphylococcus aureus" bacteria or "Candida albicans" may also play a role. An example is the inhibition of hyphae in "Candida albicans". Therapeutic-grade oil has been determined to inhibit growth of "Candida albicans". Antimicrobial peptides such as histatins inhibit the growth of Candida albicans and Streptococcus mutans. A vaginal yeast infection results from overgrowth of candida albicans, or yeast, in the vagina. Vaginal yeast infections are typically caused by the yeast species "Candida albicans". Esophageal candidiasis is an opportunistic infection of the esophagus by "Candida albicans". It also displays superior activity against "Candida albicans" than terbinafine and naftifine.
