Abstract

Abstract : Invasive fungal infections are a major cause of mortality in immunocompromised patients. By using high-resolution sequencing, Zhai et al . provide insight into translocation of Candida strains from the gut mycobiota to the bloodstream of transplanted patients. Microbiota-driven diagnostic methods could rapidly emerge for preventing deadly fungal infections.
