The opportunistic fungal pathogen, Candida albicans, lives benignly in our bodies, on our skin and mucosa membranes, until it senses we are weak; then it quickly adapts and goes on the offensive. One ...

The yeast fungus Candida albicans not only uses the toxin candidalysin to cause infections, but also to colonize the oral mucosa inconspicuously—but only in finely balanced amounts. Too little toxin ...

Candida albicans is a species of yeast — a single-celled fungus — that’s a normal part of the microbes that live in your gastrointestinal tract. Small amounts of the yeast also live in various warm, ...

A critical human fungal pathogen, Candida albicans employs an array of virulence factors to colonise and invade host tissues. Morphological switching between yeast and hyphal forms enables adaptation ...

University of Illinois Chicago-led researchers have found that a common gut yeast, Candida albicans, can help Salmonella Typhimurium take hold in the intestine and spread through the body. When ...

Candin achieved a 45.4% durable clearance rate for the treated wart, nearly doubling the 23.4% clearance rate observed in the placebo group. Topline data were announced from a completed phase 3 trial ...

Like many fungi and one-celled organisms, Candida albicans, a normally harmless microbe that can turn deadly, has long been thought to reproduce without sexual mating. But a new study shows that C.

An estimated 1.5 million deaths worldwide are attributed to invasive fungal diseases annually. 5 Of these, hospital-acquired infections—most frequently caused by species of Candida—account for around ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — You might call Candida albicans a shape-shifter: As this fungus grows, it can multiply as single, oval-shaped cells called yeast or propagate in an elongated form called hypha, ...

Vaginal yeast infection is a common type of fungal infection. It causes inflammation, irritation, itching, and vaginal discharge. People may get a yeast infection due to an overgrowth of the Candida ...

Researchers at the University of Guelph have developed a faster way to identify potential drug targets against a dangerous fungal pathogen, allowing for the study of hundreds or thousands of genes ...
