Breaking the bad: Bacillus blocks fungal virulence factors
Microbial Cell, 2017 Fungal pathogens rely on the production of specific virulence factors during infection. Inhibiting such factors generally results in reduced fungal pathogenicity.

Granzyme B Attenuates Bacterial Virulence by Targeting Secreted Factors
iScience, 2020 Summary: Pathogenic bacteria secrete virulence factors that interact with the human host to establish infections. The human immune system evolved multiple mechanisms to fight bacterial invaders, including immune proteases that were demonstrated to ...

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 The uptake of cholesterol from the host is closely linked to the proliferation of pathogenic fungi and protozoa during infection. For some pathogenic fungi, cholesterol uptake is an important strategy for decreasing susceptibility to antifungals that ...

Virulence Factors in Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci [PDF]
Pathogens, 2021 Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) have emerged as major pathogens in healthcare-associated facilities, being S. epidermidis, S. haemolyticus and, more recently, S. lugdunensis, the most clinically relevant species. Despite being less virulent than the well-studied pathogen S.

Aspergillus fumigatus Fumagillin Contributes to Host Cell Damage
Journal of Fungi, 2021 The activity of fumagillin, a mycotoxin produced by Aspergillus fumigatus, has not been studied in depth. In this study, we used a commercial fumagillin on cultures of two cell types (A549 pneumocytes and RAW 264.7 macrophages).
