Temporal changes in gastrointestinal fungi and the risk of autoimmunity during early childhood: the TEDDY study

Thomas A. Auchtung et al.

Summary: By analyzing stool samples of infants and young children, the authors found that there are changes in fungal composition and abundance at weaning, but overall fungal diversity remains relatively constant over time. Fungal composition is influenced by geography, diet, and the use of probiotics. The study also showed subtle fungal differences between children who developed autoimmune diseases and those who did not.

Interactions among the mycobiome, bacteriome, inflammation, and diet in people living with HIV

Maria Jose Gosalbes et al.

Summary: This study reveals strong inter-kingdom interactions between the mycobiome and bacteriome in individuals with HIV. The mycobiome in HIV patients is distinct and enriched with specific fungal species, which are correlated with inflammatory cytokines and immune cell counts. Additionally, diet, specifically vegetable and fiber intake, affects the composition of the mycobiome.

Inter-kingdom relationships in Crohn's disease explored using a multi-omics approach

Alessandra Frau et al.

Summary: The etiology of Crohn's disease involves bacterial and fungal microbiota, with dysbiosis observed in CD patients. Bacteroides may play a key role in CD and modulate Candida colonization. Different medications lead to varying changes in the fungal community, with Malassezia and Candida increasing in immunosuppressant-treated patients.
