Candida albicans Shed Msb2 and Host Mucins Affect the Candidacidal Activity of Salivary Hst 5
Salivary Histatin 5 (Hst 5) is an antimicrobial peptide that exhibits potent antifungal activity towards Candida albicans, the causative agent of oral candidiasis. However, it exhibits limited activity in vivo, largely due to inactivation by salivary components of both host and pathogen origin. Prot...
