The parasexual lifestyle of Candida albicans.

Current opinion in microbiology - 1 Dec 2015

Bennett Richard J

Abstract excerpt

Candida albicans is both a prevalent human commensal and the most commonly encountered human fungal pathogen. This lifestyle is dependent on the ability of the fungus to undergo rapid genetic and epigenetic changes, often in response to specific environmental cues. A parasexual cycle in C. albicans has been defined that includes several unique properties when compared to the related model yeast, Saccharomyces...
