Article Synopsis
- Polymicrobial infections, especially involving Candida albicans and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, are difficult to treat due to limited understanding of pathogen interactions and drug effectiveness.
- The study examined the effects of antifungal fluconazole (FLC) during co-infection using a zebrafish model, finding that P. aeruginosa actually enhances the efficacy of FLC against C. albicans.
- This enhancement in treatment is partly attributed to "iron piracy," where the bacterial pathogen competes for iron, highlighting the importance of studying drug interactions in complex microbial environments.
