Different isoforms of secreted aspartyl proteinases (Sap) are expressed by Candida albicans during oral and cutaneous candidosis in vivo
1 Aug 2001
Abstract excerpt
Distinct isoforms of secreted aspartyl proteinases (Sap) of Candida albicans are important virulence factors for different types of candidosis. Predominant expression of Sap1-3 has been shown to be crucial for superficial infections in experimental mucosal and cutaneous candidosis, whereas Sap4-6 might be important for systemic disease. This in-vivo study investigated Sap expression in two samples from patients...
