Fungal sex and pathogenesis.

Clinical microbiology reviews - 1 Jan 2010

Butler Geraldine

Abstract excerpt

Human fungal pathogens are associated with diseases ranging from dandruff and skin colonization to invasive bloodstream infections. The major human pathogens belong to the Candida, Aspergillus, and Cryptococcus clades, and infections have high and increasing morbidity and mortality. Many human fungal pathogens were originally assumed to be asexual. However, recent advances in genome sequencing, which revealed...
