The interaction between C. albicans and A. baumannii. (A)C. albicans and A. baumannii can utilize the homology of Hyr1p and OmpA to form a mixed biofilm. At the same time, ethanol secreted by C. albicans can upregulate a range of genes in A. baumannii, making it more likely to survive. (B) Farnesol secreted by C. albicans can disrupt the membrane integrity of A. baumannii, but A. baumannii can use an efflux pump against it. (C)A. baumannii can attenuate the virulence of C. albicans by attaching the OmpA to C. albicans hyphae in order to induce its apoptosis
