Intracellular acidification by bacteria-derived valeric acid is a mechanism of trans-kingdom ecology against Candida parapsilosis colonization

Keiko Yasuma-Mitobe, Chen Liao, Tibor Németh…·Tobias M. Hohl

The paper uses machine learning to identify valeric acid as a bacterial metabolite that inhibits Candida parapsilosis growth through intracellular acidification, reducing fungal colonization in mice.
