IL-17 signalling restricts C. albicans pathogenicity in the colonized oral cavity. Lack of IL-17 is associated with overt filamentation due to impaired zinc nutritional immunity and over time leads to...

Despite being a virulence factor, candidalysin toxin is essential for Candida albicans to penetrate the oral epithelium to establish and maintain non-infectious colonization
