DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2022.898030
Abstract: Fungal-bacterial intra-abdominal infections (IAI) can lead to sepsis with significant morbidity and mortality. We have established a murine model of Candida albicans (Ca) and Staphylococcus aureus (Sa) IAI that results in acute lethal sepsis. Prior… read more here.
