Mechanisms of Surface Antigenic Variation in the Human Pathogenic Fungus Pneumocystis jirovecii
Microbial pathogens commonly escape the human immune system by varying surface proteins. We investigated the mechanisms used for that purpose by Pneumocystis jirovecii. This uncultivable fungus is an obligate pulmonary pathogen that in immunocompromised individuals causes pneumonia, a major life-thr...
