Innovative approaches to investigate the pathogenicity and genetics of Candida albicans

This publication explores the latest methodologies for studying the pathogenicity and genetic makeup of Candida albicans, a significant opportunistic fungal pathogen. It details various pathogenicity assays, including in vitro and in vivo models, that assess immune responses and virulence mechanisms. The paper highlights the use of advanced genetic tools, such as gene disruption techniques and regulatory systems, to elucidate gene functions and their roles in pathogenicity. By integrating these approaches, researchers aim to enhance understanding of C. albicans virulence factors and improve strategies for infection management and antifungal drug development.
