Antibiotics as a Stressing Factor Triggering the Harboring of Helicobacter pylori J99 within Candida albicans ATCC10231

Abstract

the internalization of <i>H. pylori</i> into <i>C. albicans</i> in the presence of antibiotics is dependent on the type of antibiotic used, and it suggests that a therapy including amoxicillin may stimulate the entry of the bacterium into <i>Candida</i>, thus negatively affecting the success of the treatment.
