The host transcriptional response to Candidemia is dominated by neutrophil activation and heme biosynthesis and supports novel diagnostic approaches

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Candidemia is one of the most common nosocomial bloodstream infections in the United States, causing significant morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients, but the breadth of the host response to Candida infections in human patients remains poorly defined. METHODS: In order to better define the host response to Candida infection at the transcriptional level, we performed RNA sequencing on...
