Candida albicans is a microbial fungus that exists as a commensal member of the human
microbiome and an opportunistic pathogen. Cell surface-associated adhesin proteins play a …

Lactic acid bacteria, including the microorganisms formerly designated as Lactobacillus, are
the major representatives of Live Biotherapeutic Microorganisms (LBM) when used for …

To maximize fitness upon pathogenic infection, host organisms might reallocate energy and
resources among life‐history traits, such as reproduction and defense. The fitness costs of …

Candida albicans can cause infections ranging from superficial skin infections to life-
threatening systemic infections in immunocompromised hosts. Although several C. albicans …

Many host organisms live in polymicrobial environments and must respond to a diversity of
pathogens. The degree to which host defences towards one pathogen species affect …

Host and parasites interact across spatial scales, but parasite-mediated fitness effects are
typically measured only at local scales. Recent work suggests that parasites can reduce host …

During health and infection, hosts allocate energy to growth, maintenance, defense, and
reproduction. Current theory in ecological immunology suggests that mounting an …
