A Candida albicans bloodstream infections cause significant morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients. Filament formation and adherence to host cells are critical virulence factors of C. albicans. Multiple filamentation regulatory pathways have been discovered, however the downstream effectors of these regulatory pathways remain unknown. The cell surface proteins in the ALS group are downstream effectors of the filamentation regulatory pathway. Particularly, Als1p mediates adherence to endothelial cells in vitro and is required for virulence. The blocking of adherence by the organism is described resulting from the use of a composition and method disclosed herein. Specifically, a pharmaceutical composition comprised of a gene, gene product, or specific antibody to the ALS gene family is administered as a vaccine to generate an immune response capable of blocking adherence of the organism.

The invention discloses a time synchronization method for a wireless sensor network. The method comprises the following steps of: generating a synchronous data packet, and marking a transmission timestamp in the synchronous data packet; transmitting the synchronous data packet to a child node; receiving the synchronous data packet, and marking a receiving timestamp in the synchronous data packet; and compensating for the clock drift of the child node according to the transmission timestamp and the receiving timestamp in the synchronous data packet. By the time synchronization method and the time synchronization system for the wireless sensor network, clock drift compensation between a parent node and the child node is realized only by transmitting the synchronous data packet to the child node to realize regional time synchronization in a region formed by the parent node and the child node, and compared with conventional all-network time synchronization, the regional time synchronization reduces network energy consumption and also can avoid the energy consumption caused by crosstalk interference as much as possible.
