Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The virulence of Candida albicans is associated with phenotypic plasticity and hydrolytic enzyme production. However, routine laboratory subculturing represents a large and understudied variable that has the potential to diminish research reproducibility and diagnostic accuracy. In this study, we investigated the effect of serial passages on key virulence factors and antifungal susceptibility...
