Abstract

Candida albicans is a fungus that resides on various human mucosal surfaces. Individuals with debilitated immune systems are prone to develop C. albicans infections, which can range in severity from mucosal disease (e.g., oral thrush in AIDS patients) to life-threatening conditions (e.g., deep-seated, disseminated infections in patients undergoing organ transplants).
