Intestinal Flora-Derived Kynurenic Acid Protects Against Intestinal Damage Caused by Candida albicans Infection via Activation of Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor

Colonization of the intestinal tract by Candida albicans (C. albicans) can lead to invasive candidiasis. Therefore, a functional intestinal epithelial barrier is critical for protecting against invasive C. albicans infections. We collected fecal samples from patients with Candida albicans bloodstrea...
