Candida species, such as Candida albicans and Candida glabrata, cause infections at
different host sites because they adapt their metabolism depending on the available …

Successful human colonizers such as Candida pathogens have evolved distinct strategies
to survive and proliferate within the human host. These include sophisticated mechanisms to …

Abstract Purpose of the Review The success of Candida albicans, Aspergillus fumigatus,
and Cryptococcus neoformans as fungal pathogens depends on their rapid adaptation to …

Candida albicans is a major fungal pathogen of humans, accounting for 15% of nosocomial
infections with an estimated attributable mortality of 47%. C. albicans is usually a benign …

Morphological changes are critical for the virulence of a range of plant and human fungal
pathogens. Candida albicans is a major human fungal pathogen whose ability to switch …

Studies using a fungal model, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, have been instrumental in
advancing our understanding of sulfur metabolism in eukaryotes. Sulfur metabolites …

Invasive fungal infections caused by yeasts of the genus Candida carry high morbidity and
cause systemic infections with high mortality rate in both immunocompetent and …

Fungal species undergo many morphological transitions to adapt to changing environments,
an important quality especially in fungal pathogens. For decades, Candida albicans has …

Polyamines are essential metabolites found in all organisms. Intracellular polyamine levels
are tightly maintained by biosynthesis, degradation, uptake and excretion processes that …

The yeast-to-hypha transition is a key virulence attribute of the opportunistic human fungal
pathogen Candida albicans, since it is closely tied to infection-associated processes such as …
