Transcription Factors Efg1 and Bcr1 Regulate Biofilm Formation and Virulence during Candida albicans-Associated Denture Stomatitis
Denture stomatitis (DS) is characterized by inflammation of the oral mucosa in direct contact with dentures and affects a significant number of otherwise healthy denture wearers. The disease is caused by Candida albicans, which readily colonizes and form biofilms on denture materials. While evidence for biofilms on abiotic and biotic surfaces initiating Candida infections is accumulating, a rol...
متن کاملCandida albicans exhibits enhanced alkaline and temperature induction of Efg1-regulated transcripts relative to Candida dubliniensis
Filamentous growth is an important virulence trait of the human pathogenic fungi within the genus Candida, and the greater propensity of C. albicans to form hyphae has been proposed to account for the greater virulence of this species relative to the less pathogenic species C. dubliniensis. In this meta-analysis, we compare the transcriptional response of C. dubliniensis and C. albicans to the ...
متن کاملA New Approach to Virulence Factors of Candida albicans: From Gene to Function
Recently, there is an increasing trend in the diversity of pathogenic yeasts isolated from clinical samples. However, Candida albicans is even now the major cause of yeast infections. Candida albicans is one of the members of the mucosal microbiota which can cause cutaneous, mucosal, and disseminated invasive infections in susceptible individuals. For persistence in the host, the yeast must hav...
متن کاملMating and virulence of Candida albicans
Recently, it was demonstrated that Candida albicans contains mating type genes. Since that discovery, it has been demonstrated that the majority of strains contain both a and genes, that a minority are homozygous for a or and can undergo fusion, and that the cytological stages of fusion and zygote development are similar to the stages of mating in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, it has recen...
متن کاملMucins Suppress Virulence Traits of Candida albicans
UNLABELLED Candida albicans is the most prevalent fungal pathogen of humans, causing a variety of diseases ranging from superficial mucosal infections to deep-seated systemic invasions. Mucus, the gel that coats all wet epithelial surfaces, accommodates C. albicans as part of the normal microbiota, where C. albicans resides asymptomatically in healthy humans. Through a series of in vitro experi...
