Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Candida albicans is both the most common fungal commensal microorganism in healthy individuals, as well as the major fungal pathogen causing high mortality in at-risk populations, especially of immunocompromised patients. In this review, we summarize the interplay between the host innate system and C. albicans, ranging from how the host recognizes, responds and clears C. albicans infection, to how C. albicans evades, dampens and escapes from host innate immunity.
