LactoCan — Exploring probiotic interference between lactobacilli and Candida to support the development of new antifungal therapies
- Summary
The LactoCan project aimed to support the development of new anti-Candida therapies by exploring the interaction between different lactobacilli from the human microbiome and pathogenic Candida species. The project investigated the mechanisms through which lactobacilli can limit Candida growth and pathogenicity, contributing to the development of new probiotic-based therapeutic strategies.
