Abstract:Stress-induced genome instability in microbial organisms is emerging as a critical regulatory mechanism for driving rapid and reversible adaption to drastic environmental changes. In Candida albicans, a human fungal pathogen that causes life-threatening infections, genome plasticity confers increased virulence and antifungal drug resistance. Discovering the mechanisms regulating C. albicans genome plasticity is a priority to understand how this and other microbial pathogens establish life-threatening infection… Show more
