The fungus Candida albicans is often a benign member of the mucosal flora; however, it
commonly causes mucosal disease with substantial morbidity and in vulnerable patients it …

Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that is found in the normal
gastrointestinal flora of most healthy humans. However, in immunocompromised patients …

The ability to switch between yeast and hyphal growth forms (dimorphism) is one of the most
discussed and best investigated virulence attributes of the human pathogenic fungus …

Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that is found in the normal
gastrointestinal flora of most healthy humans. However, under certain environmental …

Candida albicans is both a member of the healthy human microbiome and a major pathogen
in immunocompromised individuals. Infections are typically treated with azole inhibitors of …

Candida albicans is termed a dimorphic fungus because it proliferates in either a yeast form
or a hyphal form. The switch between these forms is the result of a complex interplay of …

The human fungal pathogen Candida albicans switches from yeast to hyphal growth when
exposed to serum or phagocytosed. However, the importance of this morphological switch …

Pseudohyphal growth in both haploid and diploid strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
reflects concerted changes in different cellular processes: budding pattern, cell elongation …

The pathogenicity of the opportunistic human fungal pathogen Candida albicans depends
on its ability to escape destruction by the host immune system. Using mutant strains that are …

Candida albicans, an opportunistic human pathogen, displays three modes of growth: yeast,
pseudohyphae and true hyphae, all of which differ both in morphology and in aspects of cell …
