I performed oral sex on my girlfriend after having a spicy Indian meal, and the doctor says that the bacteria present in my mouth as a result of eating the spicy food was transferred from my mouth to her vagina and caused her to develop a fungal infection down there. She has been given anti-fungal cream and medication, and I have been advised to use a mouthwash before oral sex in future. Has anyone heard of this kind of problem?

Spicy food is not a source of bacteria. On the contrary, as its cooked and served hot it is less likely to harbour bacteria than most meals. The Lassi yogourt drink that some places do is a live culture with safe bacteria in it but these wouldn't cause any problems. In fact live natural yogourt is a good remedy for thrush! Odd are she just picked up a fungal from somewhere (it happens) and the curry night had nothing to do with it.

I would imagine a fungal infection flares up when all bacteria are killed off so that curry may have acted as an antiseptic and killed the naturally occuring species of bacteria off in her vagina thus leading to a fungal growth. It's also possible that you have oral thrush too.

The fungus is called "albicans" and is natural in the female
organ. The male mouthwash should be after the act and
not before. The mouthwash is sold over the counter in a
pharmacy, get a bottle. Sorry for not telling you the name
of the mouthwash but I think we should not prescribe over
this site, moreover I am not a doctor. The pharmacist will
help you.

yes, usually the saliva in the mouth is capable of sanitizing the mouth and killing bacteria, but sometimes it can't do it alone and that is why we use mouth wash and stuff, transmitted infection by mouth can go both ways too.
