Tracing the Origin of Invasive Fungal Infections

Nicolas Papon et al. Trends Microbiol. 2020 Apr.

Abstract

Invasive fungal infections are a major cause of mortality in immunocompromised patients. By using high-resolution sequencing, Zhai et al. provide insight into translocation of Candida strains from the gut mycobiota to the bloodstream of transplanted patients. Microbiota-driven diagnostic methods could rapidly emerge for preventing deadly fungal infections.

Keywords: bloodstream infections; dysbiosis; high-resolution sequencing; invasive candidiasis; mycobiota.
