Coordinated GlcNAc transport couples nutrient acquisition to invasive growth and virulence in Candida albicans
Candida albicans is a prevalent gut commensal and opportunistic fungal pathogen whose transition from intestinal colonization to invasive infection is influenced by environmental cues. N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), abundant in the gut from host and microbial sources, serves not only as a carbon source but also as a potent signal that promotes hyphal morphogenesis and virulence. However, how C.…
