Abstract Systemic distribution of the ubiquitous enteric fungus, Candida albicans (C Alb) may require less opportunism than had previously been considered. High enteric levels of C Alb have demonstrated the ability to spill-over in significant numbers into the host's peripheral circulation. It has also been established that C Alb can shed its characteristic cell wall and vary its cell-surface immunogens. Such abilities may enable this microbe to camouflage its identity from the host's immunity and permit proliferation into the systemic circulation as non-transients.
