Deskripsi
Commensal bacteria such as Lactobacillus rhamnosus can inhibit the pathogenicity of the fungus Candida albicans. Here, Alonso-Roman et al. investigate the interplay between C. albicans, L. rhamnosus and intestinal epithelial cells, showing that changes in the metabolic environment, induced by the bacteria, trigger adaptations in C. albicans that reduce fungal pathogenicity.
