The protozoan <i>Trichomonas vaginalis</i> targets bacteria with laterally-acquired NlpC/P60 peptidoglycan hydrolases

2018-05-11

Abstract excerpt

Trichomonas vaginalis is a human eukaryotic pathogen and the causative agent of trichomoniasis, the most prevalent non-viral sexually transmitted infection worldwide. This extracellular protozoan parasite is intimately associated with the human vaginal mucosa and microbiota but key aspects of the complex interactions between the parasite and the vaginal bacteria remain elusive. We report that T. vaginalis has acq...
