Candida auris uses nutrient sensing to titrate its virulence potential and modulate immune response for host colonisation

2026-03-12

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> The emergence of Candida auris as a pathogen required host adaptation and evasion of mammalian immunity, but the mechanisms are poorly understood. We discovered that C. auris uses nutrient sensing to tune its virulence potential and control immune activation in changing environments. In glucose-rich conditions (relevant to blood), C. auris suppresses its virulence traits and evades immu...
