The <i>Candida albicans pescadillo</i> homolog is required for normal hypha-to-yeast morphogenesis and yeast proliferation

Abstract excerpt

A single species, Candida albicans, causes half of all invasive fungal infections in humans. Unlike other fungal pathogens, this organism switches between growth as budding yeast and as pseudohyphal and hyphal filaments in host organs and in vitro. Both cell types play a role in invasive disease: while hyphal and pseudohyphal filaments penetrate host cells and tissues, yeast cells are likely to facilitate...
