Does prostaglandin E2 from Candida albicans stimulate the Growth of Staphylococcus aureus in Mixed Biofilms?
In conclision, we identified C. albicans PGE2 as a key molecule stimulating the growth and biofilm formation of S. aureus in dual S. aureus/C. albicans biofilms, although C. albicans derived farnesol, but not tyrosol, may also contribute to this effect but to a lesser extent.
The study suggests a link between IBD and left handedness which may be genetic and/or environmental in origin.
