Candidalysin impedes the development of embryonic zebrafish (Danio rerio) [PDF]
Abstract Candidalysin is a cytolytic peptide secreted by Candida albicans, an opportunistic human fungal pathogen that was widely spread in clinic and in the environment. However, its impacts on the development of aquatic organisms remain limited.

Gaining insights from Candida biofilm heterogeneity: one size does not fit all [PDF]
Despite their clinical significance and substantial human health burden, fungal infections remain relatively under-appreciated. The widespread overuse of antibiotics and the increasing requirement for indwelling medical devices provides an opportunistic ...

The cell biology of the Trichosporon-Host interaction [PDF]
Fungi of the genus Trichosporon are increasingly recognized as causative agents of superficial and invasive fungal disease in humans. Although most species are considered commensals of the human skin and gastrointestinal tract, these basidiomycetes are ...

IL-17 Receptor Signaling in Oral Epithelial Cells Is Critical for Protection against Oropharyngeal Candidiasis [PDF]
Signaling through the IL-17 receptor (IL-17R) is required to prevent oropharyngeal candidiasis (OPC) in mice and humans. However, the IL-17-responsive cell type(s) that mediate protection are unknown.

Recent trends in molecular diagnostics of yeast infections : from PCR to NGS [PDF]
The incidence of opportunistic yeast infections in humans has been increasing over recent years. These infections are difficult to treat and diagnose, in part due to the large number and broad diversity of species that can underlie the infection.
