Virulence studies of the human gut pathobiont Bilophila wadsworthia using Galleria mellonella as model host

This study evaluates Galleria mellonella as a model to study Bilophila wadsworthia virulence, showing systemic infection causes morbidity and revealing host-pathogen interactions.

A Nickel N-Heterocyclic Biscarbene Complex Derived from Caffeine Enhances Fluconazole Efficacy against Candida glabrata

This paper investigates a nickel N-heterocyclic biscarbene complex derived from caffeine that enhances fluconazole efficacy against Candida glabrata by acting synergistically and affecting mitochondrial function.

Caspofungin binding to iron compromises its antifungal efficacy against Candida albicans

This study shows that iron binding to caspofungin reduces its antifungal efficacy against Candida albicans and other fungi in iron-overloaded conditions.

RNase R, a new virulence determinant of Streptococcus pneumoniae

This study shows that RNase R enhances pneumococcal virulence in Galleria mellonella by affecting bacterial replication and immune evasion.
