Candida species are the most common cause of opportunistic fungal infections. Rapid identification and novel approaches for the characterization of these fungi are of great interest to improve the diagnosis and the knowledge about their pathogenic properties. This study aimed to characte...

Annexin A1 (AnxA1) is an anti-inflammatory protein present in different cells in biological systems, especially expressed in macrophages and neutrophils. Since neutrophils play an important role in infections and inflammatory processes and the AnxA1 and its relation in Candida spp. infections is ...

The gut microbiota is increasingly recognized for playing a critical role in human health and disease, especially in conferring resistance to both virulent pathogens such as Salmonella, which infects 1.2 million people in the United States every year [1], and opportunistic pathogens like Candida,...

Based on a unique pathogen iron interplay mechanism, this work establishes a new therapeutic paradigm targeting iron homeostasis at the host-pathogen interface via sequential metabolic priming, offering a broadly applicable strategy to reprogram resource asymmetry and combat fungal infection.

Candida albicans, a World Health Organization critical-priority fungal pathogen, represents the predominant cause of candidemia. Therapeutic failure is sometimes driven by antifungal tolerance, a phenotype distinct from resistance, whose underlying mechanisms remain incompletely defined....

INTRODUCTION: Combined infections from Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus are a leading cause of death in the developed world. Evidence suggests that Candida enhances the virulence of Staphylococcus - hyphae penetrate through tissue bar...
