This organism must be able to adapt to stress changes in the microenvironment during host invasion and systemic spread." "The high-osmolarity-glycerol (HOG) mitogen-activated protein kinase (HOG-MAPK) signaling pathway plays an important role in regulating morphology, growth, and adaptation to stress and virulence in a number of fungal pathogens.
