The fungal cell wall is essential for growth and survival, and is a key target for antifungal
drugs and the immune system. The cell wall must be robust but flexible, protective and …

Candida albicans is a commensal yeast fungus of the human oral, gastrointestinal, and
genital mucosal surfaces, and skin. Antibiotic-induced dysbiosis, iatrogenic …

Candida albicans is a common fungus of the human microbiota. While generally a harmless
commensal in healthy individuals, several factors can lead to its overgrowth and cause a …

Candida albicans is among the most prevalent fungal species of the human microbiota and
asymptomatically colonizes healthy individuals. However, it is also an opportunistic …

A major virulence attribute of Candida albicans is its ability to form biofilms, densely packed
communities of cells adhered to a surface. These biofilms are intrinsically resistant to …

In humans, microbial cells (including bacteria, archaea, and fungi) greatly outnumber host
cells. Candida albicans is the most prevalent fungal species of the human microbiota; this …

The incidence of fungal infections has increased significantly, so contributing to morbidity
and mortality. This is caused by an increase in antimicrobial resistance and the restricted …

The composition and organization of the cell walls from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida
albicans, Aspergillus fumigatus, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Neurospora crassa, and …

Candida species cause frequent infections owing to their ability to form biofilms—surface-
associated microbial communities—primarily on implanted medical devices. Increasingly …

A biofilm is an organized, resilient group of microbes in which individual cells acquire
properties, such as drug resistance, that are distinct from those observed in suspension …
