GAL and infection: To determine whether different C. albicans isolates vary in their response to galactose, we measured GAL1 expression dynamics using 11 different patient isolates of C. albicans, all from different clades (Blignaut et al., 2002; Lockhart et al., 1996; Odds et al., 2007; Pujol et al., 2002), and including strains isolated from different anatomical sites of infection and different parts of the world (Angebault et al., 2013; Hirakawa et al., 2015; Odds et al., 2007; Shin et al., 2011; Wu et al., 2007, Supplementary file 1).
