Systems Biology of Fungal Infection
Elucidation of pathogenicity mechanisms of the most important human-pathogenic fungi, Aspergillus fumigatus and Candida albicans, has gained great interest in the light of the steadily increasing number of cases of invasive fungal infections. A key feature of these infections is the interaction of the different fungal morphotypes with epithelial and immune effector cells in the human host. Beca...
متن کاملOxidative Stress Responses in the Human Fungal Pathogen, Candida albicans
Candida albicans is a major fungal pathogen of humans, causing approximately 400,000 life-threatening systemic infections world-wide each year in severely immunocompromised patients. An important fungicidal mechanism employed by innate immune cells involves the generation of toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as superoxide and hydrogen peroxide. Consequently, there is much interest in th...
متن کاملFungal Genetics and Biology
Manual annotation of the Phytophthora ramorum and P. sojae genomes has identified 136, and 132 members, respectively, indicating that the ABC superfamily is comparable in size to the Arabidopsis and rice genomes. The high level of synteny that was observed between these oomycete genomes extends to the ABC superfamily where 107 orthologous pairs were identified by phylogenetic analysis. The larg...
متن کاملVacuoles and fungal biology.
Fungal vacuoles have long been recognised as versatile organelles, involved in many aspects of protein turnover, cellular homeostasis, membrane trafficking, signalling and nutrition. Recent research has also revealed an expanding repertoire of physiological functions for fungal vacuoles that are vital for fungal growth, differentiation, symbiosis and pathogenesis. Vacuole-mediated long-distance...
متن کاملFungal infection of the sinus and anterior skull base
Abstract Background: Invasive fungal infection is an opportunistic infection caused commonly by mucoraccae and aspergillus. It mostly occurs in patients with underlying disease. Since it has a high mortality and morbidity rate, considering a treatment strategy seems necessary. Objective: Since there has not been a clear protocol for treating these patients, we decided to establish...
