Candida albicans isolated from human fungaemia induces apoptosis in an experimental endocarditis model

Candida albicans isolated from human fungaemia induces apoptosis in an experimental endocarditis model

Candida albicans is the most common fungal pathogen known to cause endovascular infections, such as vascular catheter sepsis, infections of vascular prostheses and infective endocarditis. A C. albicans isolate was used to determine the apoptotic potential of the fungus in a rat endocarditis model. T...
