TL;DR: Results indicate that Mincle is the first specific receptor for Malassezia species to be reported and plays a crucial role in immune responses to this fungus.

TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that the growth form employed in antifungal susceptibility testing of dimorphic fungi can considerably influence the interpretation of results, and warrant further investigations of micafungin as a therapeutic agent for infections caused by dimorphics fungi.

TL;DR: A new system whereby the expression of YKU80 was restored following a transient knockdown of expression during transformation, and the levels of mRNA transcription were restored and no difference in the survival ratio in vivo compared to that with the YK U80 wild-type strain was identified.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the C. glabrata CYB2 gene encoding lactate dehydrogenase as an adaptation factor for survival in the intestine and conclude that CYb2p-mediated lactate assimilation is necessary for proliferation in the intestinal tract, as the intestine is rich in lactate produced by bacteria flora but not glucose.

TL;DR: Results clearly indicated that C. dubliniensis is less virulence than C. albicans, a newly described fungus that is frequently isolated from the oral cavities of HIV-positive patients.
