Abstract excerpt
AIM: To investigate the role of SDH2 in Candida albicans filamentation and virulence. MATERIALS & METHODS: Caenorhabditis elegans and mouse candidiasis models were used to assess the virulence of a sdh2Δ/Δ mutant. Various hypha-inducing media were used to evaluate the hyphal development of C. albicans. DCFH-DA was used to measure intracellular Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) levels. RESULTS: The sdh2Δ/Δ mutant was...
