Candida albicans selection for human commensalism results in substantial within-host diversity without decreasing fitness for invasive disease
19 May 2023
Abstract excerpt
Candida albicans is a frequent colonizer of human mucosal surfaces as well as an opportunistic pathogen. C. albicans is remarkably versatile in its ability to colonize diverse host sites with differences in oxygen and nutrient availability, pH, immune responses, and resident microbes, among other cues.
