The infection called "Candida albicans" is most likely the cause of her vaginal itch despite that she has been taking antibiotics for 10 days to counter a urinary tract infection caused by e. coli.

<h3>What is Candida albicans?</h3>

This is a pathogenic yeast that is a common member of the human gut flora that can survive outside the human body.

This class of yeast is not necessarily a sexually transmitted infection as it can naturally lives in your body and can overgrow if the balance of yeast and healthy bacteria in your body changes.

Hence, it is the infection that is most likely the cause of her vaginal itch despite that she has been taking antibiotics for 10 days to counter a urinary tract infection caused by e. coli.
