Insight into the genomes of dominant yeast symbionts of European spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Spruce bark beetle Ips typographus can trigger outbreaks on spruce that results in significant losses in the forest industry. It has been suggested that symbiotic microorganisms inhabiting the gut of bark beetles facilitate the colonization of plant ...

Candida auris persists in the vaginal microaerobic niche in the absence of interleukin-17A
mSphereCandida auris is an emerging fungus notable for its high drug resistance and persistent colonization of human hosts and environmental surfaces. However, its role in vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), a common form of superficial candidiasis, remains poorly ...
