Rapid proliferation due to better metabolic adaptation results in full virulence of a filament-deficient Candida albicans strain

The ability of the fungal pathogen Candida albicans to undergo a yeast-to-hypha transition is believed to be a key virulence factor, as filaments mediate tissue damage. Here, we show that virulence is not necessarily reduced in filament-deficient strains, and the results depend on the infection mode...
