Host albumin redirects Candida albicans metabolism to engage an alternative pathogenicity pathway

Abstract Pathogenicity mechanisms of the yeast Candida albicans involve filamentous growth, adhesion, invasion, and toxin production. Interestingly, clinical isolates, and other Candida spp., can cause infection independent of filamentation or toxin production. These strains and species often are ch...
