DOI: 10.1016/j.micpath.2021.104990
Abstract: Polymicrobial biofilms involving fungal-bacterial interactions are stated to modulate host immune response and exhibit enhanced antibiotic resistance. In this milieu, clinically important opportunistic pathogens Candida albicans and Staphylococcus epidermidis associate synergistically and instigate implant and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/aem.00429-18
Abstract: ABSTRACT Legionella pneumophila causes water-based infections resulting in severe pneumonia. Recently, we showed that different MLVA-8 (multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis using 8 loci) genotypes dominated different sites of a drinking-water distribution system. Each genotype displayed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/mbio.01410-19
Abstract: A number of studies comparing either patient outcomes or model system virulence across large collections of Cryptococcus isolates have found significant heterogeneity in virulence even among strains with highly related genotypes. Because this heterogeneity cannot… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12898-019-0265-5
Abstract: BackgroundSome pathogenic bacteria have been developing as a part of terrestrial and aquatic microbial ecosystems. Bacteria are consumed by bacteriovorous protists which are readily consumed by larger organisms. Being natural predators, protozoa are also an… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2018.03077
Abstract: One of the major challenges of modern medicine includes the failure of conventional protocols to characterize the pathogenicity of emerging pathogens. This is particularly apparent in the case of Plesiomonas shigelloides. Although a number of… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2021.682626
Abstract: Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the most common bacteria to cause urinary tract infection (UTI). Postmenopausal women have an increased risk of recurrent UTI. This is partly explained by estrogenic effects on host defenses against… read more here.
