Candida albicans infections range from superficial to systemic and are one of the leading causes fungus-associated nosocomial infections. The innate immune responses during these various infection types differ, suggesting that host environment plays a key role in modulating host–pathogen interaction. In addition, C. is able remodel its cell wall response environmental conditions evade clearance...

Adhesins facilitate bacterial colonization and invasion of host tissues are considered virulence factors, but their impact on immune-mediated damage as a driver pathogenesis remains unclear. Yersinia pseudotuberculosis encodes for multivalent adhesion molecule (MAM), mammalian cell entry (MCE) family protein adhesin. MAMs widespread in Gram-negative bacteria enable enteric to colonize epithelia...
