Hospital Epidemiology and Infection Control in Acute-Care Settings (2011, background): “The incidence of health care-associated invasive fungal infections has risen over the last 10 years (252).”
A simple and reproducible 96-well plate-based method for the formation of fungal biofilms and its application to antifungal susceptibility testing (2008, background): “Fungi, being eukaryotic cells and more complex than bacteria, cause infections that are often difficult to diagnose and treat, and carry unacceptably high mortality rate”
Candida albicans pathogenicity mechanisms (2013, background): “In stark contrast, systemic candidiasis is associated with a high crude mortality rate, even with first line antifungal therapy.(3,4,12) Both neutropenia and damage of the gastrointestinal mucosa are risk factors for the development of experimental systemic (disseminated) candidiasis.”
Candida albicans morphogenesis and host defence: discriminating invasion from colonization (2011, neutral): “albicans colonizes the skin, genital mucosa and/or intestinal mucosa of 30–70% of healthy individuals at any given moment, and it is therefore noteworthy that under normal circumstances the fungus does not cause significant diseas”
Epidemiology of Invasive Mycoses in North America (2010, background): “These data include not only candidemia but also other forms of invasive candidiasis that may not be associated with positive blood cultures, which may explain why the estimates are higher than several population-based studies, of candidemia incidence (Table 8) (Perlroth et al. 2007).”
