Answer:

Opportunistic, endogenous pathogen

Explanation:

Opportunistic infection is an infection that is caused by the microbes that are otherwise the component of one's own normal microbiota.  Under particular conditions, the microbes become pathogenic and cause infection. The pathogen-derived from one's own microbiota is called endogenous pathogen.

According to the given information, <em>Candida albicans </em>is a part of the microflora of mouth but becomes pathogenic under certain conditions. In healthy individuals, they do not produce disease as their overgrowth is suppressed by other microbiota and other host resistance mechanisms. The infection occurs only in those individuals with predisposing factors such as weakened immune system or after consumption of antibacterial medications that disturb the normal microbiota and immune competency. This makes it an opportunistic, endogenous pathogen.

Which kind of organism does not generally require oxygen or sunlight to survive
dexar [7]
Anaerobic organisms, those which do not perform the standard 'cellular respiration' or 'photosynthesis', do not require oxygen, nor sunlight to survive. Instead, they survive off of glycolysis which is a process also carried out in aerobic respirators, but it is one that does not <em>require </em>oxygen or sunlight. You can do this by using lactate, sulfate or even alcohol instead of the usual oxygen.
