Following our introduction of Multi-Locus Sequence Typing (MLST) as the state-of-the-art methodology for molecular epidemiology studies of C. albicans, the Fungal Biology and Pathogenicity Unit at Institut Pasteur is now progressing into population genomics […]

Biofilms formed by C. albicans on indwelling devices play a major role in the persistence of nosocomial infections, largely because of their elevated tolerance to antifungals. The Fungal Biology and Pathogenicity Unit at Institut […]

The Fungal Biology and Pathogenicity Unit at Institut Pasteur is interested in the regulation of the yeast-to-hypha transition in C. albicans because of its role in biofilm formation and, more generally, in virulence. While […]

Fungal infections have emerged over the past three decades as a considerable threat to human health. These deadly fungal infections are almost all due to species from three genera: Aspergillus, Candida and Cryptococcus. The […]

FunComPath is a network within the Infect-ERA programme (www.infect-era.eu). Infect-ERA is an ERA-Net on human infectious diseases funded under the EU 7th Research Framework Programme (2013 – 2016). It is a continuation of the […]

Candida albicans and Candida glabrata are the two major yeast species responsible for invasive fungal infections in humans. Systemic infections due to C. albicans and C. glabrata are associated with high mortality rates despite […]
