The array of virulence attributes displayed by C. albicans makes this opportunistic yeast a successful commensal of human mucosal surfaces and contributes to its pathogenic behavior in patients with innate or acquired immune defects [31– 3 3]. The ability of C. albicans to exhibit different morphotypes is undoubtedly one of the most important strategies of aggression and evasion by this pathogen. As a pseudohyphal form, C. albicans has the ability to invade host tissues, avoid phagocytic cell ingestion and survive intracellular control mechanisms In this study, we provide evidence that the extract we prepared was able to inhibit the transition from yeast to hyphal form which further suggests the use of extracts of S. nitens in the treatment of fungal infections.
