Inhibition of Candida parapsilosis Fatty Acid Synthase (Fas2) Induces Mitochondrial Cell Death in Serum

Candida parapsilosis is a human opportunistic pathogen associated with significant morbidity and mortality, especially in immunocompromised individuals such as premature, low-birthweight neonates. In prior studies researchers have indicated that C. parapsilosis effectively utilizes fatty acids/lipids for growth and virulence.
