Candida albicans-Induced Epithelial Damage Mediates Translocation through Intestinal Barriers

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT Life-threatening systemic infections often occur due to the translocation of pathogens across the gut barrier and into the bloodstream. While the microbial and host mechanisms permitting bacterial gut translocation are well characterized, these mechanisms are still unclear for fungal pathogens such as Candida albicans , a leading cause of nosocomial fungal bloodstream infections. In this study, we...
