Candida albicans is viewed as a harmless commensal in health and a dangerous parasite in disease. Recently in Cell, Doron et al. (2021) reveal that C. albicans in the gut additionally serves as a mutualist by provoking the immune system to generate far-reaching antibodies that defend against invasive fungal infections.
白色念珠菌在健康时被视为无害共生体,而在疾病时则是危险的寄生虫。最近,在《细胞》杂志上,多隆等人(2021 年)揭示了肠道中的白色念珠菌通过刺激免疫系统产生广泛的抗体来抵御侵袭性真菌感染,从而起到共生体的作用。
