Target: Candida albicans

Abstract: Candida albicans Products

Target Type: Species

Background: Candida albicans is the most frequently isolated fungal pathogen of humans, affecting immunocompromised patients ranging from premature infants to AIDS sufferers. Systemic infections have an attributed mortality of 30-50 % . C. albicans is a diploid organism which has eight sets of homologous chromosomes. It has a genome of approximately 16 Mb (haploid), about 30 % greater than S. cerevisiae (baker's yeast).
