Host Soluble Mediators: Defying the Immunological Inertness of Aspergillus fumigatus Conidia

Journal of Fungi, 2017
Aspergillus fumigatus produce airborne spores (conidia), which are inhaled in abundant quantity. In an immunocompromised population, the host immune system fails to clear the inhaled conidia, which then germinate and invade, leading to pulmonary ...

Study of fungal rhinosinusitis

Journal of Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences, 2020
Background: Rhinosinusitis is a common disorder occurring in 20% of the population. Chronic sinus infection unresponsive to antibiotics should raise the suspicion of Fungal rhinosinusitis. Various types of fungi caused inflammation of sinus mucosa.

Approaching the secrets of N-glycosylation in Aspergillus fumigatus [PDF]

, 2010
The mannosyltransferase Och1 is the key enzyme for synthesis of elaborated protein N-glycans in yeast. In filamentous fungi genes implicated in outer chain formation are present, but their function is unclear.
