Lactic acid bacteria differentially regulate filamentation in two heritable cell types of the human fungal pathogen <i>Candida albicans</i>
2 Aug 2016
Abstract excerpt
Microorganisms rarely exist as single species in natural environments. The opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are common members of the microbiota of several human niches such as the mouth, gut and vagina. Lactic acid bacteria are known to suppress filamentation, a key virulence feature of C. albicans, through the production of lactic acid and other metabolites. Here we...
