Candida-Klebsiella interactions rewire fungal morphogenesis to create a host environment favoring pathogen survival with enhanced tissue pathology

Tamires A. Bitencourt, Irina Tsymala, Rafael De Freitas Silva, Nicholas Wedige, Celine Prakash, Trinh Phan-Canh, Sabrina Villar-Pazos, Filomena Nogueira, Sandra Högler, Theodora Ziu, Philipp Penninger, Débora Cristina Coraça-Huber, Michaela Lackner, Wilfried Ellmeier, Thomas Lion, Karl Kuchler

This study shows that Candida-Klebsiella interactions enhance fungal virulence and tissue pathology by rewiring fungal morphogenesis and host immune responses.

Candida auris can acquire antifungal resistance without selection pressure

Trinh Phan-Canh, Duc-Minh Nguyen-Le, Manju Chauhan, Phuc‐Loi Luu, Anuradha Chowdhary, Neeraj Chauhan, Karl Kuchler

This study shows that Candida auris can develop antifungal resistance and morphological changes during routine strain exchange on filter paper without antifungal exposure.

Carbon Dioxide Controls Fungal Fitness and Skin Tropism of Candida auris

Trinh Phan-Canh, Cristina Coman, Michaela Lackner, Nina Troppmair, Christoph Müller, Diana Cerbu, Saskia Seiser, Philipp Penninger, Irina Tsymala, Narakorn Khunweeraphong, Tamires A. Bitencourt, Andrej Knarr, Sabrina Jenull, Hossein Arzani, Lisa-Maria Zenz, , Karl Kuchler

This study identifies a carbonic sensing pathway (CSP) in Candida auris that enhances drug resistance and skin colonization through mechanisms involving ROS response, cell wall remodeling, and energy metabolism.
