A NOVEL IMMUNE EVASION STRATEGY OF CANDIDA ALBICANS: PROTEOLYTIC CLEAVAGE OF A SALIVARY ANTIMICROBIAL PEPTIDE.

A novel immune evasion strategy of candida albicans: proteolytic cleavage of a salivary antimicrobial peptide.

Oropharyngeal candidiasis is an opportunistic infection considered to be a harbinger of AIDS.The etiologic agent Candida albicans is a fungal species commonly colonizing human mucosal surfaces.However, under conditions of immune dysfunction, colonizing C.albicans can become an opportunistic pathogen causing superficial or even life-threatening infe
