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 a polymorphic fungus that has the ability to rapidly switch between
yeast and filamentous forms. The morphological transition appears to be a critical virulence …

Fungal pathogens must assimilate local nutrients to establish an infection in their
mammalian host. We focus on carbon, nitrogen, and micronutrient assimilation mechanisms …

Although the fungus Candida albicans is a commensal colonizer of humans, the organism is
also an important opportunistic pathogen. Most infections caused by C. albicans arise from …

ABSTRACT A selection of 43 Candida albicans isolates, chosen to represent the four major
strain clades of the species and also intraclade diversity, was screened for their virulence in …

The transition of C. albicans from unicellular yeast form to filamentous form ie,
pseudohyphae and hyphae is referred to as morphogenesis. C. albicans has the ability to …

Chlamydospore formation is a characteristic of many fungal species, among them the
closely related human-pathogenic dimorphic yeasts Candida albicans and C. dubliniensis …

The unfolded protein response (UPR) regulates the expression of genes involved in the
protein secretory pathway and in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in yeasts and …

Global analysis of the molecular responses of microbial pathogens to their mammalian hosts
represents a major challenge. To date few microarray studies have been performed on …

Candida albicans strains tolerate aneuploidy, historically detected as karyotype alterations
by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and more recently revealed by array comparative …
