Thrilled to share the results of our 8-year-long expedition into the Wild, the city of #NYC , the wild west of #LosAngelesCA , and more—in search of the roots of gut fungal commensalism! 🧵nature.com/articles/s4158…

While fungi like #Candida albicans are common in humans, the gut #mycobiota of lab mice—a key model in #immunity and #microbiome research—is highly variable. Attempts to isolate mouse gut fungal commensals have been unsuccessful, limiting basic and translational #research.

We found that K.p dominates the murine #mycobiome, thrives at body temp, outstands competition by other #fungi and is inherited across generations. It is uniquely adapted to the GI tract and gets around the bacterially “overcrowded” intestines by colonizing the stomach.

It is so well adapted to its host that the immune system remains oblivious to its presence………until #mucusfluctuations caused by #diet or #antibiotics get K.p in contact with the gastric #epithelium. Check out the paper for the fascinating immune mechanism that this unlocks!

Helpful notes: 1) If you are a mouse and haven’t got your K.p yet, make sure to get some (Iliev Lab can help)- it can protect you against parasitic worms! #evolutionbenefit of #commensalism 2) Food #allergy in mice- If any, K.p makes symptoms worst via Type 2 immune-mediated mech
