We heard from patients with questions about our recent #NatureMedicine study nature.com/articles/s41591-0… , so here are the key findings for the wider #IBD community: Our question: Can the gut ecosystem recover by removing a microbial pressure rather than adding something new?

Antifungal therapy improves microbiome dynamics in inflammatory bowel disease

Nature Medicine - In an prospective observational study of patients with inflammatory bowel disease with oral thrush, the treatment of fluconazole (orogastrointestinal therapy), but not nystatin...

Related Candida strains were shared between mouth and gut- a potential noninvasive testing approach These findings open a path toward mycobiome-directed approaches and provide foundation for randomized trials, where antifungal therapy remains to be tested as treatment for IBD.

Good to see that the European Food Standards Agency has recognised the danger of agricultural use of fungicides driving resistance to antifungal azoles in the clinic. efsa.europa.eu/en/news/one-h… @MRCcmm @eurconfmedmycol @ISHAM_Mycology @GW4AMR

One Health: EU agencies unite to tackle azole fungicide resistance in Aspergillus fungi

For the first time, the five EU health and environment agencies – EFSA, ECDC, ECHA, EEA and EMA[1]– supported by the JRC, reviewed how the use of azole substances outside human medicine affects...

Commensal fungi, a force to be reckoned with: Highlight of work of @IlievLab showing Kazachstania pintolopesii, a symbiotic fungus in mice, is shielded from host immune system during homeostasis but induces type 2 immunity during mucus fluctuations cell.com/cell-host-microbe/f…

3) If you are a tourist exploring NYC attractions #WhatsGoodNYC—sorry, no recommendations for a K.p. tour... (@IlievLab can’t help, but @ThrillistNYC might). 4) If you are a #scientist , check your laboratory mice for K.p (@IlievLab can help)- its alters research outcomes.
