Abstract excerpt
The HOG MAP kinase pathway plays a crucial role in the response to different stresses in the opportunistic pathogen Candida albicans. The polyene amphotericin B (AMB) has been reported to trigger oxidative stress in several pathogenic fungi, including C. albicans. In the present work, we have analyzed the role of the MAPK Hog1 in sensing and survival to AMB treatment. Mutants lacking Hog1 are more susceptible to...
