Candida albicans mutants deficient in respiration are resistant to the small cationic salivary antimicrobial peptide histatin 5.

Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy - 1 Feb 2000

Abstract excerpt

Histatins are a group of small cationic peptides in human saliva which are well known for their antibacterial and antifungal activities. In a previous study we demonstrated that histatin 5 kills both blastoconidia and germ tubes of Candida albicans in a time- and concentration-dependent manner at 37 degrees C, whereas no killing was detected at 4 degrees C. This indicated that killing activity depends on cellular...
