Abstract excerpt
Candida is one of the most frequent causes of bloodstream infections, and our first line of defense against these invasive infections is the innate immune system. The early immune response is critical in controlling Candida albicans infection, but C. albicans has several strategies to evade host immune attack. Phagocytosis of C. albicans blocks hyphal growth, limiting host damage and virulence, but how C....
