Abstract excerpt
Candida albicans is both a successful commensal and pathogen of humans that can infect a broad range of body sites. The transition from commensalism to parasitism requires a susceptible host but it is also an active process. Gene expression of C. albicans is regulated by an interplay between host and pathogen and at least one transcriptional program associated with the yeast-to-hyphal transition. This not only...
