This study shows that the skin bacterium Micrococcus luteus reduces Candida auris colonization by inducing β-defensin-14 and enhancing IL-17F responses.

This study uses single-cell transcriptomics to identify immune responses and IL-1Ra-IL-1R evasion strategies in C. auris skin infection.

This study identifies Hog1 MAP kinase as essential for Candida auris skin colonization and intradermal persistence through RNA-seq and phenotypic analyses.
