Abstract
The ubiquity of pathogenic yeast species in the human body and the increasing number of immunocompromised people acquiring infections have drawn attention to fungal infections. Improved diagnostic imaging techniques and tools to study infection are necessary due to the commensal nature of pathogens yeast and the severity of the diseases they cause. The ability to label non-pathogenic yeast cells, such as the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae), may facilitate the identification and monitoring of these microbes in different environments. The topic of interest in this research is the development of luminescent nano-biomaterials based on fluorapatite as a contrast agent for labeling and imaging S. cerevisiae.
