Cell Surface Hydrophobicity as a Virulence Factor in Candida albicans

2017-12-25

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT: Cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH) is one of the important virulence attributes which helps Candida albicans to be a successful fungal pathogen. It influences several steps in pathogenesis of C. albicans leading to establishment of infection. CSH plays an important role in adhesion of cells to host tissues and catheters/medical devices implanted in patients. Adhesion to surfaces and subsequent biofilm for...
