The yeast Candida albicans is one of the most aggressive opportunistic pathogens in
immunocompromised patients. The ability of the yeast to withstand stresses and radicals is …

Candida albicans is an opportunistic human fungal pathogen that causes superficial and
systemic infections, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. In response to C …

A main avenue of defense against fungal infection uses oxidative killing of these and other
microorganisms. Consequently, the ability of fungi to withstand an oxidative challenge has …

Candida species are important pathogens of humans and the fourth most commonly isolated
pathogen from nosocomial blood stream infections. Although Candida albicans is the …

Objectives To analyse the oxidative and nitrosative stress response in Candida albicans
generated by fluconazole at subinhibitory concentrations, and the functional consequences …

Superoxide dismutases (SOD) convert superoxide radicals into less damaging hydrogen
peroxide. The opportunistic human pathogen Candida albicans is known to express …

Ssk1p of Candida albicans is a putative response regulator protein of the Hog1 two-
component signal transduction system. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the phosphorylation …

Invasive candidiasis is associated with high mortality in immunocompromised and
hospitalized patients. Candida albicans is the main pathological agent followed by Candida …

Cap1p, a transcription factor in Candida albicans, is thought to participate in oxidative stress
tolerance, but the pathways involved are still unclear. The study was designed to reveal the …

This work has identified regulatory elements in the major fungal pathogen Candida albicans
that enable response to nitrosative stress. Nitric oxide (NO) is generated by macrophages of …
