Albicans. C. ALBICANS, thrush fungus; a species which is ordinarily part of man's normal gastrointestinal flora, but which becomes pathogenic when there is a disturbance in the balance of the flora or in debilitation of the host from other causes; resulting disease states may vary from limited to generalized cutaneous or mucocutaneous infections, to severe and fatal systemic disease including endocarditis, septicemia and meningitis.
