Characterization of the Candida orthopsilosis agglutinin-like sequence (ALS) genes
24 Apr 2019
Abstract excerpt
Agglutinin like sequence (Als) cell-wall proteins play a key role in adhesion and virulence of Candida species. Compared to the well-characterized Candida albicans ALS genes, little is known about ALS genes in the Candida parapsilosis species complex. Three incomplete ALS genes were identified in the genome sequence for Candida orthopsilosis strain 90-125 (GenBank assembly ASM31587v1): CORT0C04210 (named...
