The commensal-to-pathogen shift of the human pathogenic fungus Candida albicans

Speaker: Bernhard Hube, Ph.D. – Department Microbial Pathogenicity Mechanisms, Hans Knöll Institute and Friedrich-Schiller-University, Jena, Germany.

Fungal infections are often underestimated as a significant cause of mortality. Most pathogenic fungi originate from the environment, but one of the most common and important fungal pathogens, Candida albicans, lives as a commensal within the vast majority of humans. The adaptation of this fungus to the human host is the result of an ancient, mostly commensal relationship which has led to the development of distinct fungal strategies to survive and proliferate in diverse host niches.
