Abstract excerpt
Neutropenia predisposes patients to life-threatening infection with Candida albicans, a commensal and opportunistic fungal pathogen. How phenotypic variation in C. albicans isolates dictates neutrophil responses is poorly understood. By using a panel of clinical C. albicans strains, here we report that the prototype strain SC5314 induces the most potent accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and neutrophil...
