Vaginas host a complex microcosm of bacteria and yeasts that can fluctuate over time. However, little is known about these microbial communities and their roles in a person’s health, and 9 out of 10 ...

In lab-scale trials, use of the endolysin-making yeasts reduced the presence of the bacteria by 85% compared to a control group of the yeasts that hadn't been genetically modified. On average ...

Malassezia yeasts grow in the follicles and produce inflammation. Pre­disposing factors include immunosuppression, which may be from the human immunodeficiency virus, cancer or iatrogenic ...

An international team of scientists is helping to identify how vaginal microbiomes vary across cultures and continents.

To investigate whether a similar process mediates cytotoxicity of 1-O-octadecyl-2-O-methyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine (ET-18-OCH 3, edelfosine) in both yeasts and human tumor cells. A modified ...

Largely unexplored, they said, are the roles of several other types of microbes that exist in vaginal microbiomes – including yeasts, viruses and other types of bacteria. In addition, the microbiome's ...
