Surface Glycans of<i>Candida albicans</i>and Other Pathogenic Fungi: Physiological Roles, Clinical Uses, and Experimental Challenges

Abstract excerpt

Although fungi have always been with us as commensals and pathogens, fungal infections have been increasing in frequency over the past few decades. There is a growing body of literature describing the involvement of carbohydrate groups in various aspects of fungal disease. Carbohydrates comprising the cell wall or capsule, or as a component of glycoproteins, are the fungal cell surface entities most likely to be...
