This study shows that short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) increase susceptibility of Candida albicans to fluconazole by reprogramming acetyl-CoA metabolism and reducing ergosterol biosynthesis.

This study identifies a nosocomial transmission cluster of fluconazole-resistant Nakaseomyces glabratus and novel resistance-associated variants in a Melbourne hospital.

This study shows that fumarate, regulated by host and pathogen, limits S. aureus growth by blocking metabolic pathways, while FumC enables adaptation through fumarate degradation and utilization.

This paper introduces an in vitro model of endotracheal tube biofilms that demonstrates the effectiveness of combining matrix-degrading enzymes with antimicrobials to eradicate pathogens causing ventilator-associated pneumonia.
