The protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis targets bacteria with laterally acquired NlpC/P60 peptidoglycan hydrolases
The human eukaryotic pathogen Trichomonas vaginalis causes trichomoniasis, a prevalent sexually transmitted infection. This extracellular protozoan is intimately associated with the human vaginal mucosa and microbiota, but key aspects of the complex interactions between the parasite and the vaginal...
