Gladiolin Candida albicans research shows a bacterial molecule can disarm an invasive fungal form and boost antifungal drugs.

A team from the Alcoy campus of the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), the Research Institute for Chemical Technology (ITQ, CSIC-UPV), the Research Institute for Mediterranean Agroforestry ...

A 30-day in vitro study found limited antifungal susceptibility shifts in some Candida strains, persistent catalase ...

The yeast fungus Candida albicans not only uses the toxin candidalysin to cause infections, but also to colonize the oral mucosa inconspicuously—but only in finely balanced amounts. Too little toxin ...

Bacteria and fungi are often competitors, vying for the same nutrients and habitats.For example, penicillin, produced by ...

An in vitro comparison found broader antioxidant, enzyme-inhibitory and antimicrobial activity for coffee seed extract, while ...

About 80% of people have the fungus Candida albicans in their gut. Although most of the time it persists unnoticed for years, causing no health problems, C. albicans can turn into a dangerous microbe ...

The emergence of Candida auris as a pathogen required host adaptation and evasion of mammalian immunity, but the mechanisms are poorly understood. We discovered that C. aurisuses nutrient sensing to ...

The opportunistic fungal pathogen, Candida albicans, lives benignly in our bodies, on our skin and mucosa membranes, until it senses we are weak; then it quickly adapts and goes on the offensive. One ...

Candida may be linked to endometriosis. This may be because it alters the balance of microorganisms in the body and can cause inflammation. Further research is necessary to fully understand the ...
