Role of Amino Acid Metabolism in the Virulence of Human Pathogenic Fungi

2019-07-17

Abstract excerpt

The success of Candida albicans , Aspergillus fumigatus , and Cryptococcus neoformans as fungal pathogens depends on their rapid adaptation to host microenvironments, through metabolic remodeling, stress resistance, and expression of virulence determinants. Amino acids represent an abundant nitrogen and carbon source within the host; however, their acquisition by fungi is a very complex process that interconnects...
