Cell biology of Candida albicans host interactions
Highlights The cell biology of Candida albicans is adapted both for life as a commensal and as a pathogen. C. albicans can either downregulate or upregulate virulence properties in the human host. This fungus modulates the activity of phagocytes to enable its own survival. Candida is metabolically flexible enabling it to survive in multiple niches in the host.
