Colonization of Mice by<i>Candida albicans</i>Is Promoted by Chemically Induced Colitis and Augments Inflammatory Responses through Galectin‐3

Abstract

DSS-induced colitis provides a model for establishing C. albicans colonization in mice. This model reveals that C. albicans augments inflammation and confirms the role of Gal-3 in both inflammation and the control of host responses to C. albicans.
