Title Study exposes key tactic used by deadly fungus Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet ScienceDaily Media type Web Country/Territory Australia Date 1/05/18 Description Scientists have found that a lethal fungus destroys the immune cell that would ordinarily kill it, by stealing its source of nutrients. Candida albicans is a microscopic fungus commonly found in the body but which can become a dangerous infection in vulnerable hospital patients. The study demonstrated that the fungus competes with disease-fighting macrophages by rapidly consuming glucose and causing the macrophages to die.
