An important fungicidal mechanism employed by innate immune cells involves the generation of toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as superoxide and hydrogen peroxide. Consequently, there is much interest in the strategies employed by C. albicans to evade the oxidative killing by macrophages and neutrophils.  Our understanding of how C. albicans senses and responds to ROS has significantly increased in recent years. Key findings include the observations that hydrogen peroxide triggers the filamentation of this polymorphic fungus and that a superoxide dismutase enzyme with a novel mode of action is expressed at the cell surface of C. albicans. Furthermore, recent studies have indicated that combinations of the chemical stresses generated by phagocytes can actively prevent C. albicans oxidative stress responses through  a mechanism termed the stress pathway interference. In this review, we present an up-date of our current understanding of the role and regulation of oxidative stress responses in this important human fungal pathogen.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/biom5010142","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,25]],"date-time":"2015-02-25T05:28:04Z","timestamp":1424842084000},"page":"142-165","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":245,"title":["Oxidative Stress Responses in the Human Fungal Pathogen, Candida albicans"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Alessandra","family":"Dantas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Biologia Celular e Gen\u00e9tica, Instituto de Biologia Roberto Alcantara Gomes, Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ), Rio de Janeiro 20550-013, Brazil"}]},{"given":"Alison","family":"Day","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Cell and Molecular Biosciences, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne NE2 4HH, UK"}]},{"given":"M\u00e9lanie","family":"Ikeh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Cell and Molecular Biosciences, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne NE2 4HH, UK"}]},{"given":"Iaroslava","family":"Kos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Cell and Molecular Biosciences, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne NE2 4HH, UK"}]},{"given":"Beatrice","family":"Achan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Cell and Molecular Biosciences, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne NE2 4HH, UK"}]},{"given":"Janet","family":"Quinn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Cell and Molecular Biosciences, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne NE2 4HH, UK"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Odds, F.C.
