Typing of feces-derived Candida albicans strains using a novel seven-locus microsatellite panel reveals associations with yeast phenotype in individuals with inflammatory bowel disease
Genetic and functional variation is observed in yeasts from patients with intestinal inflammatory diseases, and this may correlate with severity of the disease.
Dectin-1 stimulating β-glucans inhibit Chlamydia infections both in vitro and in vivo
Direct interaction between the bacterial pathogen, Chlamydia trachomatis, and β-glucans, a structure that is found on Candida albicans, inhibits chlamydial infections.
Isolate-specific rat brain transcriptional responses to rat lungworm (Angiostrongylus cantonensis)
Brain-invading Angiostrongylus cantonensis infects various animals, including humans, with brain reactions varying based on the parasite’s specific identity. Two different Australian isolates of rat lungworm (Angiostrongylus cantonensis) trigger different responses from the definitive (rat) host during experimental infection.
