Research Keyword: farnesol biosynthesis

Do farnesol and tyrosol production in Candidozyma auris biofilms reflect virulence potential?

Researchers discovered that a dangerous fungus called Candidozyma auris produces signaling molecules called farnesol and tyrosol in biofilms. These molecules appear to be linked to how dangerous the fungus is—strains that produce more of these molecules were more virulent in infection studies. Understanding these signaling molecules could help develop new strategies to fight this drug-resistant pathogen.
