protects itself from stressful environments by forming biofilms, changing its morphology, or invading eukaryotic cells, including yeast cells. There is little knowledge about the environmental factors that influence the endosymbiotic relationship between bacterium and yeasts. Here, we studied if oxygen availability stimulated the growth of within and if this was a bacterial- or yeast strain-dependent relationship.

This work aimed to determine if temperatures outside the optimal range for increase its harboring within . strains were co-cultured with strains in Brucella broth supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum and incubated at 4, 25, 37 or 40 °C.

This pathogen has been reported to enter into yeast cells; however, factors triggering this endosymbiotic relationship remain unknown. The aim of this work was to evaluate in vitro if variations in nutrient concentration in the cultured medium trigger the internalization of within cells.

Treatment failure is associated with antibiotic resistance and possibly also with internalization of into eukaryotic cells, such as yeasts. Factors triggering the entry of into yeast are poorly understood.

One of the approaches proposed to decrease IS is the administration of synbiotics. This work aimed to search for a probiotic strain capable to decrease serum IS levels and mix it with two prebiotics (inulin and fructooligosaccharide (FOS)) to produce a putative synbiotic and test it in a rat CKD model.

Methods: A questionnaire was used to determine risk factors of infection.
Introduction: Nearly 73% of the Chilean population is infected with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), a factor predisposing for gastric cancer. Recent studies have demonstrated the presence of this pathogen within yeasts, suggesting that this fact can directly influence the failure of a treatment, transmission, and reinfection.

This work analyzed if J99 can protect itself from acidic pH by entering into ATCC 90028. Growth curves were determined for and at pH 3, 4, and 7.
