Binding of Elementary Bodies by the Opportunistic Fungal Pathogen Candida albicans or Soluble β-Glucan, Laminarin, Inhibits Chlamydia trachomatis Infectivity

Binding of Elementary Bodies by the Opportunistic Fungal Pathogen Candida albicans or Soluble β-Glucan, Laminarin, Inhibits Chlamydia trachomatis Infectivity

Microbial interactions represent an understudied facet of human health and disease. In this study, the interactions that occur between Chlamydia trachomatis and the opportunistic fungal pathogen, Candida albicans were investigated.
