A cross-sectional study was conducted among 103 MASLD patients without established CVD. Fibrosis and steatosis were assessed using magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) and proton density fat fraction ...

Individual Candida albicans yeast strains in the human gut are as different from each other as the humans that carry them, and some C. albicans strains may damage the gut of patients with inflammatory ...

The microbiome is a multi-kingdom community of microorganisms that colonizes all environmentally exposed epithelial and mucosal surfaces of the body, with its greatest biomass and diversity within the ...

The presence of probiotics such as lactic acid bacteria changes the environment in the intestine and forces the yeast fungus Candida albicans to change its metabolism, making it less infectious. This ...

About 80% of people have the fungus Candida albicans in their gut. Although most of the time it persists unnoticed for years, causing no health problems, C. albicans can turn into a dangerous microbe ...

The gastrointestinal tract represents a complex ecological niche where opportunistic fungi, most notably Candida species, coexist with a diverse microbial community and a multilayered host defence ...

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). While gut bacteria have been linked to CVD, the role of intestinal ...

Antibiotic treatment disrupts the balance of beneficial and harmful bacteria in a person's gut. That disruption can lead to the overgrowth of fungal species in the gut mycobiota, including the common ...

University of Illinois Chicago-led researchers have found that a common gut yeast, Candida albicans, can help Salmonella Typhimurium take hold in the intestine and spread through the body. When ...

Antibiotic treatment disrupts the balance of beneficial and harmful bacteria in a person's gut. That disruption can lead to the overgrowth of fungal species in the gut mycobiota, including the common ...

Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel have identified a yeast that could be used to prevent invasive candidiasis, a major cause of death in hospitalized and immunocompromised ...
