Genome-guided manipulation of regulators of morphogenesis in a C. albicans strain with low virulence is not sufficient to trigger a high-virulence phenotype

Ricardo Fróis-Martins, Sarah Mertens, Van Du T. Tran, Corinne Maufrais, Christophe d’Enfert, Dominique Sanglard, Salomé LeibundGut‐Landmann

This study shows that altering BRG1 and CYR1 in a low-virulence C. albicans strain does not increase its virulence in vivo, suggesting complex gene networks regulate fungal pathogenicity.
