Candida albicans is a major fungal pathogen of humans. It exists as a commensal in the oral
cavity, gut or genital tract of most individuals, constrained by the local microbiota, epithelial …

The immune response to Candida species is shaped by the commensal character of the
fungus. There is a crucial role for discerning between colonization and invasion at mucosal …

The incidence of infections caused by Candida species (candidosis) has increased
considerably over the past three decades, mainly due to the rise of the AIDS epidemic, an …

Candida albicans is a common fungal pathogen of humans that colonizes the skin and
mucosal surfaces of most healthy individuals. Until recently, little was known about the …

Candida albicans has been detected in root carious lesions. The current study aimed to
explore the action of this fungal species on the microbial ecology and the pathogenesis of …

The interaction between Candida albicans and its host cells is characterized by a complex
interplay between the expression of fungal virulence factors, which results in adherence …

One of the most important questions in microbiology nowadays, is how apparently harmless,
commensal yeasts like Candida spp. can cause a rising number of infections. The …

Candida albicans is the most common fungal pathogen of humans and has developed an
extensive repertoire of putative virulence mechanisms that allows successful colonization …

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 …

Neutrophils phagocytose and kill microbes upon phagolysosomal fusion. Recently we found
that activated neutrophils form extracellular fibres that consist of granule proteins and …
