🔹 Tobias Köhler of the #KurzaiLab @uni-wuerzburg.de for his presentation:
“The effect of lung colonization with #CandidaAlbicans on #StaphylococcusAureus infection” 🫁🔬
Congratulations 🎉 — we’re looking forward to seeing the progress of your projects next year at #Rothenfels2027 🏰

📖 Perfect weekend reading for fungal fans! 😉 Our @mpm-hki.bsky.social colleagues uncover how #CandidaAlbicans manages to invade tissue as hyphae but spread as yeast. Published in @femsjournals.bsky.social.

Endophthalmitis—a severe intraocular infection often caused by #CandidaAlbicans can lead to permanent vision loss if not treated promptly. New study examines efficacy of #rezafungin:

Check out another brand-new publication by our EXIT members Theresa Lange, Bernhard Hube, and Sascha Brunke, together with additional co-authors, on #Candidaalbicans in PLOS Pathogens: dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour...
An oak tree isolate of #CandidaAlbicans was “trained” on a sugar-rich diet for 6 weeks! Its descendants showed greater antifungal resistance, and some showed enhanced hyphae formation, and more host-cell damage. Even "harmless" strains can turn pathogenic under sweet conditions.

“Pour some sugar on me” — environmental #CandidaAlbicans strains on a sugar diet can evolve enhanced virulence and antifungal resistance.

Excieted to see @fungalmeg.bsky.social
from #UNSW #Sydney present her groundbreaking work on harnessing the human microbiome to combat #CandidaAlbicans, along with advances in antifungal polymers we at @leibniz-hki.de have had the pleasure to collaborate on in the past!
#CandidaAlbicans needs the toxin candidalysin to colonize the oral cavity in mice. A new sudy in collaboration with @lableibundgut.bsky.social and @pasteur.fr shows that candidalysin enables the fungus to cross the outer skin layer, resist the immune response, and maintain its niche—(1/2)
Dose makes the difference! #Candidaalbicans uses the toxin #candidalysin not only to cause infections but also to quietly colonize the mouth – too little fails, too much triggers immune defense.

The fact that thrush can be transmitted from a baby to a chest feeding person and that fungus can grow in the milk ducts is just a very unsettling thought

- A parasitic fungus that can infect the mouth or the skin or the intestines or the vagina

This study evaluated #Annonamuricata leaf extract alone and with fluconazole against #Candidaalbicans. It inhibited biofilms (60%), enhanced with fluconazole (78%). Docking suggested Sap3 binding for antifungal potential.

Candida, a serenade to a #YeastInfection? #CandidaAlbicans
Abstract
MedSky🧪#IDSky Severe #COVID19 is marked by excessive inflammation that can persist after infection. The commensal yeast #Candidaalbicans is now implicated in the acute and chronic #immunopathology of #LongCOVID
