Deletion of theSSK1Response Regulator Gene inCandida albicansContributes to Enhanced Killing by Human Polymorphonuclear Neutrophils
21 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
The isolation and partial functional characterization of the two-component response regulator SSK1 gene of Candida albicans was previously reported. Compared to wild-type (CAF2-1) and gene-reconstituted (SSK23) strains, the ssk1 null strain (SSK21) was avirulent in a murine model of hematogenously disseminated candidiasis and less able to adhere to human esophageal cells. More recent data indicate that SSK21 is...
