Effect of Farnesol on a Mouse Model of Systemic Candidiasis, Determined by Use of a <i>DPP3</i> Knockout Mutant of <i>Candida albicans</i>
6 Feb 2007
Abstract excerpt
This work extends our previous observation that the fungus Candida albicans secretes micromolar levels of farnesol and that accumulation of farnesol in vitro prevents the yeast-to-mycelium conversion in a quorum-sensing manner. What does farnesol do in vivo? The purpose of this study was to determine the role of farnesol during infection with a well-established mouse model of systemic candidiasis with C. albicans...
