Fungal Factors Implicated in Pathogenesis

摘要: The diversity of fungi that cause disease as well individual host differences make an understanding the pathogenesis human mycoses very difficult. various fungal etiologic agents have impressive variations in virulence potential, some are overt pathogens they can immunologically normal individuals, while others opportunistic pathogens. Along with growing number compromised list belonging to continues grow and even includes such species Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Clemons et al. 1994). Pathogenesis is further complicated by variability among strains within a given species. Furthermore, behavior fungus depends on immunologic status person, tissue or organ involved, other ill-defined factors.
