Activation of the alternative complement pathway by Torulopsis glabrata.

A Ferrante, Y H Thong.   

Abstract

Torulopsis glabrata is a yeast-like fungus with increasing importance as an opportunistic human pathogen. The role of serum complement in resistance to this infection was studied by chemotactic and opsonic assays. The results indicate that T. glabrata activates complement via the alternative pathway. This may be an important mechanism in host immunity to this fungus.
