Fungal Infections and Studies

Superficial mycoses are some of the most common diseases worldwide. The usual culprits - yeasts belonging to the genera Malassezia and Candida - are commensal species in the skin that can cause opportunistic infections. We aimed to determine whether these yeasts use glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) as adhesion receptors to mediate binding to epithelial cells.
