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 patho...
