Environmental Sensing and Signal Transduction Pathways Regulating Morphopathogenic Determinants of <i>Candida albicans</i>

Abstract excerpt

Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that is found in the normal gastrointestinal flora of most healthy humans. However, under certain environmental conditions, it can become a life-threatening pathogen. The shift from commensal organism to pathogen is often correlated with the capacity to undergo morphogenesis. Indeed, under certain conditions, including growth at ambient temperature, the...
