Aspergillus Outbreak in an Intensive Care Unit: Source Analysis with Whole Genome Sequencing and Short Tandem Repeats

Journal of Fungi
Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is widely used for outbreak analysis of bacteriology and virology but is scarcely used in mycology. Here, we used WGS for genotyping Aspergillus fumigatus isolates from a potential Aspergillus outbreak in an intensive care ...

Sanitizing the fortress: protection of ant brood and nest material by worker antibiotics [PDF]

, 2013
Social groups are at particular risk for parasite infection, which is heightened in eusocial insects by the low genetic diversity of individuals within a colony. To combat this, adult ants have evolved a suite of defenses to protect each other, including

Equipped for success: genomes and metabolomes of the European Amanita muscaria are conserved in its novel South African range

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 3, Page 1863-1883, May 2026.
Summary Plants and soils have been moved around the world for centuries, but invasive mushrooms receive scant attention. The Amanita muscaria species complex was introduced to South Africa in the context of forestry, but its origins, ecology and recent evolution are unstudied. We sequenced the genomes of 24 Northern and Southern Hemisphere A. muscaria,

Aspergillus fumigatus enhances elastase production in pseudomonas aeruginosaco-cultures [PDF]

, 2015
In the cystic fibrosis (CF) lung the presence of bacteria and fungi in the airways promotes an inflammatory response causing progressive lung damage, ultimately leading to high rates of morbidity and mortality.

Rezafungin (CD101) demonstrates potent in vitro activity against Aspergillus, including azole-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus isolates and cryptic species

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2018
Background Rezafungin is an investigational echinocandin under development for the treatment and prevention of invasive fungal infections, with a long half-life in humans (∼130 h) and potent in vitro activity against Aspergillus spp. Our objective was to

Epidemiological and genomic landscape of azole resistance mechanisms in Aspergillus fungi

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Invasive aspergillosis is a life-threatening mycosis caused by the pathogenic fungus Aspergillus. The predominant causal species is Aspergillus fumigatus, and azole drugs are the treatment of choice.

Heterologous expression and functional characterization of a GH10 endoxylanase from \u3ci\u3eAspergillus fumigatus\u3c/i\u3e var. \u3ci\u3eniveus\u3c/i\u3e with potential biotechnological application [PDF]

, 2019
Xylanases decrease the xylan content in pretreated biomass releasing it from hemicellulose, thus improving the accessibility of cellulose for cellulases. In this work, an endo-β-1,4-xylanase from Aspergillus fumigatus var.

Anti fungal activity of alcoholic extract of Peganum harmala seeds [PDF]

, 2011
In our study, it was aimed to determine antifungal activity of Peganum harmala on medically important yeasts and molds in vitro. Fungal suspensions of Candida spp and aspergillus spp isolated from the clinical specimens were treated with serial dilutions

Role of Hydrophobins in Aspergillus fumigatus

Journal of Fungi, 2017
Resistance of Aspergillus fumigatus conidia to desiccation and their capacity to reach the alveoli are partly due to the presence of a hydrophobic layer composed of a protein from the hydrophobin family, called RodA, which covers the conidial surface. In
