Differential Phagocytosis of White versus Opaque Candida albicans by Drosophila and Mouse Phagocytes

22 Jan 2008

Abstract excerpt

The human fungal pathogen Candida albicans resides asymptomatically in the gut of most healthy people but causes serious invasive diseases in immunocompromised patients. Many C. albicans strains have the ability to stochastically switch between distinct white and opaque cell types, but it is not known with certainty what role this switching plays in the physiology of the organism. Here, we report a previously...
