Candida albicans resistance to hypochlorous acid
ABSTRACTInnate immune cells, especially neutrophils, play key roles in protecting against infection by Candida albicans and other fungal pathogens.A distinct aspect of neutrophils compared to other phagocytes is that they make much higher levels of myeloperoxidase, which converts H2O2 generated during the oxidative burst into highly reactive hypoch
