TRANSLATIONAL CONTROL OF MORPHOLOGY AND VIRULENCE IN CANDIDA ALBICANS

Candida albicans, the most commonly isolated human fungal pathogen, is responsible for a wide variety ofsystemic and mucosal infections. Immunocompromised individuals, including cancer patients onchemotherapy, AIDS patients, neonates, and organ transplant recipients, are particularly susceptible toinfection. The ability of C. albicans to undergo a reversible morphological transition from single budding yeastcells to filaments (elongated cells attached end-to-end) is important for virulence as well as several virulence-related properties.
