Out now: the story of how gut bacteria-derived SCFAs regulate the virulence characteristics of Candida albicans 😇👿

Read our latest review led by Chris McCory @chrismccro (and catch up with him at #HFP2024):

AMR symposium

[Centre to Impact AMR @CentreImpactAMR]

🔵It’s Day 2 of #WAAW2024!
We need to educate stakeholders & policymakers on the drivers of #AMR.
Some biocides/antimicrobial ingredients banned in various jurisdictions, such as the EU and U.S., are still found in Australian household products

Profiling fungal genes expressed in infected organs is important for understanding how Candida albicans causes disease. In @mSphereJ: an approach to analyze spatiotemporal patterns of C. albicans gene expression at single-cell resolution in mouse tongues. https://t.co/UyQr3WDzlb

Delighted to share our latest review! @TrendsMicrobiol

From the nutritional environment, through metabolic pathways to changes in acylome dynamics, SCFAs influence the growth, metabolism, and virulence of C. albicans. But how?
