The protection of associated microbiota for their animal hosts against pathogen infection has been studied widely over the last 100 years. However, how those microbes protect the animal host is limitedly investigated. In former studies, body surface microbes of one insect, Delia antiqua,...
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...
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.
