Cai-Ling Ke Source Confirmed

OverviewAI-generated summary

Cai-Ling Ke's research at John Brown University addresses antifungal resistance and novel antimicrobial strategies. Her work encompasses fungal infections, with a focus on the mechanisms underlying virulence and persistence in Candida species. Recent studies have investigated the role of *MSS2* in *Candida albicans*, demonstrating its importance in mitochondrial function, chitosan resistance, biofilm formation, and invasive growth. Ke's investigations extend to the regulation of candidalysin in intravascular catheter infections and the roles of glucose-responsive kinases in *Candida tropicalis*. Additionally, she explores the antimicrobial properties of chitosan and other compounds, as well as applications of nanocomposite films for food packaging and the potential of probiotics and fermented foods. Her work includes examining the impact of reactive oxygen species and calcium signaling on candidal virulence.
