Acetate modulates the inhibitory effect of against the pathogenic yeasts and .

The exploration of the interference prompted by commensal bacteria over fungal pathogens is an interesting alternative to develop new therapies. In this work we scrutinized how the presence of the poorly studied vaginal species affects relevant pathophysiological traits of and . was found to form mixed biofilms with and resulting in pronounced death of the yeast cells, while bacterial viability was not affected.
