Reduced virulence of Candida albicans MKC1 mutants: a role for mitogen-activated protein kinase in pathogenesis
1 Feb 1997
Abstract excerpt
Deletion of the Candida albicans mitogen-activated protein kinase MKC1 gene gave rise to viable cells whose cell integrity was affected (F. Navarro-García, M. Sánchez, J. Pla, and C. Nombela, Mol. Cell. Biol. 15:2197-2206, 1995). In an experimental infection system using a murine model, the C. albicans mkc1 delta/mkc1 delta strain was found to be less pathogenic than the parental strain, as show the different...
