The exploration of the interference prompted by commensal bacteria over fungal pathogens
is an interesting alternative to develop new therapies. In this work we scrutinized how the …

Strategies against the opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans based on probiotic
microorganisms represent a promising alternative to traditional antifungals. Here, we …

We evaluated the inhibitory effects of the probiotic Lactobacillus species on different phases
of Candida albicans biofilm development. Quantification of biofilm growth and ultrastructural …

Successful colonization of the acidic vaginal niche by C. glabrata and C. albicans depends
on their ability to cope with the presence of lactic and acetic acids produced by commensal …

Microbial communities have an important role in health and disease. Candida spp. are
ubiquitous commensals and sometimes opportunistic fungal pathogens of humans …

Healthy vaginal microbiota is dominated by Lactobacillus spp., which form a critical line of
defence against pathogens, including Candida spp. The present study aims to identify …

Humans are colonized by diverse populations of microbes. Infections by Candida albicans,
an opportunistic fungal pathogen, are a result of imbalances in the gut microbial ecosystem …

A number of clinical studies have shown protective effects of lactobacilli against Candida
species in the gastrointestinal tract, the urogenital tract and the oral cavity, while others did …

Lactobacillus species are the predominant vaginal microbiota found in healthy women of
reproductive age and help to prevent pathogen infection by producing lactic acid, H2O2 and …

Lactobacilli are involved in the microbial homeostasis in the female genital tract. Due to the
high prevalence of many bacterial diseases of the female genital tract and the resistance of …
