“We've got to get out”—Strategies of human pathogenic fungi to escape from phagocytes
Human pathogenic fungi survive inside and escape from phagocytes. Following intracellular replication or filamentation, they employ different strategies including lytic and non‐lytic escape, programmed cell death pathways, or persistence. Subsequently, this affects the host immune response and vice versa, which might offer new targets for research and ...
