Abstract

and are often co-isolated in cases of biofilm-associated infections. can cause systemic disease through morphological switch from the rounded yeast to the invasive hyphal form. Alternatively, systemic infections arise from seeding through breaks in host epithelial layers although many patients have no documented portal of entry. We describe a novel strategy by which is able to invade host tissue and disseminate via adherence to the invasive hyphal elements of and findings demonstrate a specific binding of the staphylococci to the candida hyphal elements. The cell wall adhesin Als3p binds to multiple staphylococcal adhesins. Furthermore, Als3p is required for to transport into the tissue and cause a disseminated infection in an oral co-colonization model. These findings suggest that can facilitate the invasion of across mucosal barriers, leading to systemic infection in co-colonized patients.
