Default Candida and Nematodes

This is really an aside, but just an interesting little tidbit. They (science) uses C. Elegans as a model of human pathogenicity. Gee, these little worms stand in for us! I guess they can make nice sometimes....

Anyway, C. Elegans (and I assume other nematodes) DIE when fed Candida.

PLoS Pathogens: Antifungal Chemical Compounds Identified Using a C. elegans Pathogenicity Assay

I don't know what to make of it, but it's interesting nonetheless.

Oh, and I just found this (part of above link). This is depressing as heck...Antifungals Prolong Nematode Survival -- well, if that ain't a kick in the pants...can't win for losin'...

In solidarity,
