Fungal-bacterial cocolonization and coinfections pose an emerging challenge among patients suspected of having pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB); however, the underlying pathogenic mechanisms microbiome interactions are poorly understood. Understanding how environmental microbes, such as fungi bacteria, coevolve develop traits to evade host immune responses resist treatment is critical controlling opportunistic fungal coinfections. In this project, we propose study coexistence bacterial microbial...
<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background</bold>: Fungal-bacterial co-colonization and co-infections are emerging among tuberculosis (TB) suspected patients, yet the underlying mechanisms that enable arise from their interactions poorly understood. Understanding how environmental microbes such as fungi bacteria co-evolve develop traits to evade host immune responses resist treatment is critical controlling opportunistic co-infections. We therefore, hypothesize cross-kingdom synergistic...
Background: Vulvovaginal candidiasis is estimated to range between 35-60% among pregnant women worldwide. The emergency of anti-fungal resistance in Candida species against azoles and caspofungin a rising concern because there limited choices antifungals be used with low toxicity. In Uganda, the burden vulvovaginal 48%. However, data regarding vitro phenotypic genotypic susceptibility patterns candida isolated from women. Thus, this study aimed screen for two mutated famous erg11 fks1 genes...
