There is a lot of debate in the research community as to whether certain bacteria and parasites are commensal or pathogenic. This debate is incredibly important in our practices which is why it is concerning to me when authors make conclusions based on data that may have different clinical implications then they reference. In the study we discuss today the authors concluded that blastocystis is indeed a commensal but listen in to see if I agree with that.
Research Discussed
Deng, L., Wojciech, L., Gascoigne, N. R. J., Peng, G., & Tan, K. S. W. (2021). New insights into the interactions between Blastocystis, the gut microbiota, and host immunity. PLOS Pathogens, 17(2), e1009253. doi:10.1371/journal.ppat.1009253
