The pH of the Host Niche Controls Gene Expression in and Virulence of <i>Candida albicans</i>
1 Jul 1998
Abstract excerpt
Little is known of the biological attributes conferring pathogenicity on the opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans. Infection by this pathogen, as for bacterial pathogens, may rely upon environmental signals within the host niche to regulate the expression of virulence determinants. To determine if C. albicans responds to the pH of the host niche, we tested the virulence of strains with mutations in...
