<i>C. albicans</i> ergosterol modulates the antifungal response of human neutrophils by masking β-glucan

2026-05-18

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introduction</h4> Ergosterol-targeting azoles are widely used in the treatment of Candida albicans infection. In addition to direct antifungal activity, azoles are known to enhance neutrophil-mediated killing of C. albicans , but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear, particularly whether ergosterol depletion directly modulates host immune responses. <h4>Gap Statement</h4> It remains unknown whether re...
