Tori's medical condition is due to the organism called c) Candida albicans

Candidiasis is an infection caused by a yeast (a type of fungus) called Candida. Candida normally lives inside the body, such as the skin, mouth, throat, intestines, and vagina, and does not cause problems. Candida can cause infection when conditions within the vagina change to facilitate its growth.

Candida can cause infections if it grows out of control or penetrates deep into the body. For example, it can cause infections in the bloodstream and internal organs such as the kidneys, heart, and brain. Candida develops antibiotic resistance and causes disease.
