Members of the Candida parapsilosis complex and Candida albicans are differentially recognized by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
The systemic infections caused by members of the Candida parapsilosis complex are currently associated to high mobility and mortality rates, and are considered as relevant as those caused by Candida albicans. Since the fungal cell wall is the first point
