Gut-Evolved Candida albicans Induces Metabolic Changes in Neutrophils

Serial passaging of the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans in the gastrointestinal tract of antibiotics-treated mice selects for virulence-attenuated strains. These gut-evolved strains protect the host from infection by a wide range of pathogens via trained immunity. Here, we further investigate...
