Extracellular vesicles from Pneumocystis carinii-infected rats impair fungal viability but are dispensable for macrophage functions

Microbiology Spectrum
Pneumocystis spp. are host obligate fungal pathogens that can cause severe pneumonia in mammals and rely heavily on their host for essential nutrients. The lack of a sustainable in vitro culture system poses challenges in understanding their metabolism ...
