Candidiasis and Candidemia

Candidiasis and Candidemia Systemic distribution of the ubiquitous enteric fungus, Candida albicans (C Alb) may require less opportunism than had previously been considered. High enteric levels of C Alb have demonstrated the ability to spill-over in significant numbers into the host's peripheral circulation. It has also been established that C Alb can shed its characteristic cell wall and vary its cell-surface immunogens. Such abilities may enable this microbe to camouflage its identity from the host's immunity and permit proliferation into the systemic circulation as non-transients. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Advancement in Medicine Springer Journals

Abstract

Systemic distribution of the ubiquitous enteric fungus, Candida albicans (C Alb) may require less opportunism than had previously been considered. High enteric levels of C Alb have demonstrated the ability to spill-over in significant numbers into the host's peripheral circulation. It has also been established that C Alb can shed its characteristic cell wall and vary its cell-surface immunogens. Such abilities may enable this microbe to camouflage its identity from the host's immunity and permit proliferation into the systemic circulation as non-transients.
