Distribution and impact of yeast thermal tolerance permissive for mammalian infection
25 Feb 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: From the viewpoint of fungal virulence in mammals, thermal tolerance can be defined as the ability to grow in the 35°C to 40°C range, which is essential for inhabiting these hosts. RESULTS: We used archival information in a fungal collection to analyze the relationship between thermal tolerance and genetic background for over 4,289 yeast strains belonging to 1,054 species. Fungal genetic relationships...
