Oral thrush is a fungal infection of the mouth. It is not contagious and is usually successfully treated with antifungal medication. It is also called oral candidosis (or candiasis) because it is caused by a group of yeasts called Candida.
Causes of Infections. While the body naturally relies on the yeast found in the intestine, urinary and reproductive tracts, an overgrowth of yeast can cause many commonly known complications. Vaginal yeast infections are caused by too much of the yeast fungus Candida albicans. Yeast infections of the mouth are called thrush, while men can also experience infections of the urethra and skin surrounding the penis.
