Abstract
A recent study (Dunker et al.) has shown that a Candida albicans mutant, defective for filamentation, is fully virulent due to rapid cellular proliferation in host tissues. These findings challenge the current paradigm in C. albicans pathogenesis and suggest that defects in one virulence property can be compensated for by enhancements in another.Entities:
