About Candida albicans (GCA_000182965.3)

Candida albicans, a diploid sexual fungus, is the causal agent of opportunistic infections in humans, the most common being oral and vaginal infections. Systemic fungal infections have emerged as important causes of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients (e.g., AIDS, cancer chemotherapy, organ or bone marrow transplantation). In addition, hospital-related infections in patients not previously considered at risk (e.g., patients on an intensive care unit) have become a cause of major health concern. The annotation for this has been imported from FungiDB through the [VEuPathDB project] (https://veupathdb.org/veupathdb/app).
