Infectious Disease: Insights of Two Specialists
About this episode

In this episode Alyssa is joined by common host Callum to talk about some less common yeast pathogens: Malassezia spp., Rhodotorula ssp., Trichosporon spp. and Saccharomyces spp. 

Whilst we're calling these "less common" don't let that fool you - these fungi are everywhere! They are just less commonly causing severe disease in us humans!
