The quorum‐sensing molecule <i>E</i>,<i>E</i>‐farnesol—its variable secretion and its impact on the growth and metabolism of <i>Candida</i> species
1 May 2010
Abstract excerpt
Diseases caused by Candida species are an increasing problem. Candida species are associated with high overall mortality, due to a variety of virulence factors such as the yeast-to-hyphal switch and proteolytic enzymes. The phenomenon of microbial communication known as quorum sensing also seems to play an important role. The main characteristics of the quorum-sensing molecule E,E-farnesol are well known for C....
