Sterol metabolism in the opportunistic pathogen Pneumocystis: advances and new insights.

Lipids - 1 Aug 2004

Kaneshiro Edna S

Abstract excerpt

Pneumocystis can transiently colonize healthy individuals without causing adverse symptoms, and most people test positive for exposure to this organism early in life. However, it can cause Pneumocystis pneumonia (PcP) in people with impaired immune systems and is a major cause of death in HIV/AIDS. Although it has close affinities to the Ascomycetes, Pneumocystis has features unlike those of any single group of...
