“…C. albicans has a distinguishing feature, the yeast‐to‐hyphae dimorphism, which is the most important virulence factor that enables C. albicans to infect humans (Madhani and Fink, 1998; Brown and Gow, 1999; Staib et al ., 2000). During the initial stage of infection, C. albicans cells exhibit a planktonic yeast morphology that is avirulent, and a subsequent transition from yeast to hyphae leads to tissue invasion in patients (Sudbery et al ., 2004; Saville et al ., 2003; Lo et al ., 1997; Finkel and Mitchell, 2011). This ability to switch between yeast and hyphae is indispensable for the pathogenesis of C. albicans (Noble et al ., 2017).…”
