The Porphyromonas gingivalis Hybrid Cluster Protein Hcp Is Required for Growth with Nitrite and Survival with Host Cells.

abstract：:When type I Candida stellatoidea is plated onto sucrose agar at levels in excess of 10(8) cells, some isolates spontaneously form sucrose-positive colonies. These isolates do not display typical type I phenotypes but instead exhibit phenotypes intermediate between type I C. stellatoidea and C. albicans. Also, this phe...
