Mechanisms of Resistance to Oxidative and Nitrosative Stress: Implications for Fungal Survival in Mammalian Hosts

Year: 2004

Type: review

Abstract: The ability of a fungal pathogen to cause disease requires the ability to survive in the host. Survival in the host is dependent on evasion of the host's immune system, including the microbial killing mechanisms of phagocytes. The innate immune system is comprised of macrophages and neutrophils,
