In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Lu et al. (2013) report on the redundancy of signaling pathways controlling Candida albicans filamentation and pathogenicity. In the process, they provide important insight into how this normal commensal of humans adapts to different host microenvironments to become a highly successful opportunistic pathogen.
在本期《细胞宿主与微生物》中，Lu 等人（2013）报告了控制白念珠菌菌丝形成和致病性的信号通路的冗余性。在这个过程中，他们提供了重要的见解，说明这种人类的正常共生菌如何适应不同的宿主微环境，成为一种高度成功的机会性病原体。
