Metabolic Adaptations During Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans Co-Infection
Successful pathogens require metabolic flexibility to adapt to diverse host niches.The presence of co-infecting or commensal microorganisms at a given infection site can further influence the metabolic processes required for a pathogen to cause disease.The Gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus and the polymorphic fungus Candida albicans are
