With only four classes of antifungal drugs available for the treatment of invasive systemic fungal infections, the number of resistant fungi is increasing, highlighting the urgent need for novel antifungal drugs. Ergosterol, an essential component of

Mafalda Cavalheiro et al. use single-cell force spectroscopy and RNA-seq to examine the adhesion process of Candida glabrata, an opportunistic human fungal pathogen, to various medical surfaces. Their results suggest that the adhesion forces of C. gl

Outbreaks of invasive infections, with high mortality rates, caused by multidrug-resistant Candida auris have been reported worldwide. Although hotspot mutations in FKS1 are an established cause of echinocandin resistance, the actual contribution of

Candida glabrata is a prominent pathogenic yeast which exhibits a unique ability to survive the harsh environment of host immune cells. In this study, we describe the role of the transcription factor encoded by the gene CAGL0F09229g, here named CgTog

The uptake of cholesterol from the host is closely linked to the proliferation of pathogenic fungi and protozoa during infection. For some pathogenic fungi, cholesterol uptake is an important strategy for decreasing susceptibility to antifungals that

Mitochondrial dysfunction or morphological abnormalities in human pathogenic fungi are known to contribute to azole resistance; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms are unknown. In this study, we investigated the link between mitochondrial mo

Biofilm formation and drug resistance are two key pathogenesis traits exhibited by Candida glabrata as a human pathogen. Interestingly, specific pathways appear to be in the crossroad between the two phenomena, making them promising targets for drug

The prevalence of antifungal resistance in Candida glabrata, especially against azole drugs, results in difficult-to-treat and potentially life-threatening infections. Understanding the molecular basis of azole resistance in C. glabrata is crucial to

To thrive in the acidic vaginal tract, Candida glabrata has to cope with high concentrations of acetic acid. The mechanisms underlying C. glabrata tolerance to acetic acid at low pH remain largely uncharacterized. In this work, the essential role of
