Journal ArticleDOI

Adhesins in Human Fungal Pathogens: Glue with Plenty of Stick

Piet W. J. de Groot, +4 more
- 01 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: Recent progress made in the field of adhesins in human fungal pathogens is summarized and the importance of these proteins in establishment of fungal diseases is underscored.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improved clinical laboratory identification of human pathogenic yeasts by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry

Oliver Bader, +5 more
- 01 Sep 2011 - 
TL;DR: A significant advantage of MALDI-TOF MS over biochemistry in the recognition of isolates novel to the system was observed, and will substantially improve fungal diagnostics and patient treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Cell Wall of the Human Pathogen Candida glabrata: Differential Incorporation of Novel Adhesin-Like Wall Proteins

Piet W. J. de Groot, +9 more
- 01 Nov 2008 - 
TL;DR: It is proposed that the large repertoire of adhesin(-like) genes of C. glabrata contributes to its adaptability and virulence and is reflected in alterations in adhesion capacity and cell surface hydrophobicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification and Characterization of Four Azole-Resistant erg3 Mutants of Candida albicans

Claire M. Martel, +8 more
- 01 Nov 2010 - 
TL;DR: The results suggest that missense mutations in ERG3 might arise in C. albicans more frequently than currently supposed and that the clinical significance of erg3 mutants, including those in which additional mechanisms also contribute to resistance, should not be discounted.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Clinical Isolate of Candida albicans with Mutations in ERG11 (Encoding Sterol 14α-Demethylase) and ERG5 (Encoding C22 Desaturase) Is Cross Resistant to Azoles and Amphotericin B

Claire M. Martel, +7 more
- 01 Sep 2010 - 
TL;DR: A clinical isolate of Candida albicans was identified as an erg5 (encoding sterol C22 desaturase) mutant in which ergosterol was not detectable and ergosta 5,7-dienol comprised > 80% of the total sterol fraction as discussed by the authors.
