Abstract:
The quorum sensing commonly exists in procaryote kingdom,regulating various biologic functions.Recently similar phenomenon was also found in fungi world,which affecting both biofilm formation and dimorphism.In this article,we focus on the recent progress on quorum sensing of pathogenic fungi and discuss the possibility of taking quorum sensing molecule as a potential target for antifungl therapy.
