Candida albicans Morphogenesis Programs Control the Balance between Gut Commensalism and Invasive Infection

？ Candida albicans colonizes the gastrointestinal tract as a mixture of yeast and hyphae ？ A C. albicans hyphal gene network that promotes virulence inhibits commensal fitness ？ Commensal fitness is inversely related to expression of hypha-specific virulence effectors ？ Hosts may tolerate yeasts while restricting pathogenic hyphae in the gu
