Abstract

Understanding the pathogenesis of an infectious disease is critical for developing new methods to prevent infection and diagnose or cure disease. Adherence of microorganisms to host tissue is a prerequisite for tissue invasion and infection. Fungal cell wall adhesins involved in adherence to host tissue or abiotic medical devices are critical for colonization leading to invasion and damage of host tissue. Here, with a main focus on pathogenic Candida species, we summarize recent progress made in the field of adhesins in human fungal pathogens and underscore the importance of these proteins in establishment of fungal diseases.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • DSY562 contains 101 adhesin-like proteins, exceeding the 66 deduced in CBS138.

    “According to our analysis, we proposed a list of 101 adhesin-like proteins in DSY562 (File S5 and File S6), which well exceeds the number of deduced adhesins in CBS138 (66) according to de Groot et al. (2013).”

  • Candida glabrata contains 63 ORFs with adhesin properties.

    “It is estimated that C. glabrata contains 63 ORFs with adhesin properties (de Groot et al. 2013).”

    From Comparative Genomics of Two Sequential <i>Candida glabrata</i> Clinical Isolates (2017) · cites this paper as de Groot et al. 2013

  • DSY562 and DSY565 each contained a large set of adhesin-like genes (101 and 107, respectively), exceeding the 63 reported adhesins in the CBS138 genome.

    “DSY562 and DSY565 each contained a large set of adhesin-like genes (101 and 107, respectively), which exceed by far the number of reported adhesins (63) in the CBS138 genome.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
