Abstract excerpt
Proteolytic activity is regarded as one of the most important virulence factors of Candida albicans. Several authors recently demonstrated that some karyotypes and genotypes harbouring a group I self-splicing intron (CaLSU) located in the gene encoding the large rRNA subunit showed a high level of proteinase production. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between the level of proteinase...
