A vaccine developed by University of Georgia researchers successfully protects against and treats vaginal yeast infections in ...

Interestingly, Candida glabrata is more closely genetically related to baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) than it is to Candida albicans or Candida parapsilosis. Most yeast species that ...

The human gut microbiome contains a wide range of organisms, including different bacteria, viruses, and fungi, including the fungus Candida albicans. This natural fungus has two different forms, one ...

The yeast Candida albicans is an opportunistic pathogen of humans. Usually, it is commensal and colonizes the mucosal surfaces of the gastrointestinal tract although certain factors, such as host ...

Candida albicans is the most common yeast that we live with. It’s found naturally on our skin and in certain parts of our bodies. We explain what Candida albicans is and 11 scenarios when its ...

A hallmark of C. albicans virulence is the ability to reversible switch from yeast forms to filamentous forms, hyphae. The organism uses the yeast form to rapidly increase biomass and the hyphae ...

The fungus Candida albicans, a type of yeast, lives in the gut microbiota and plays a role in health and gastrointestinal disease. The scanning electron micrograph shows the yeast in its pathogenic, ...

In a study published May 5 in the journal mSphere, UB biologists Guolei Zhao and Laura Rusche report that a protein called Sir2 may facilitate C. albicans’ transition from ovoid yeast to thread-like ...

A protein called Sir2 may facilitate C. albicans' transition from ovoid yeast to thread-like hypha. C. albicans cells that were missing the Sir2 gene were less likely to form true hyphae in lab ...
