Sequencing the Aspergillus fumigatus genome
The Lancet Infectious Diseases, 2002Aspergillus fumigatus is the most common mould pathogen of human beings and unusually causes both invasive disease in immunocompromised patients and allergic disease in patients with atopic immune systems. 4% of patients dying in modern European teaching hospitals have invasive aspergillosis and it is the leading infectious cause of death in leukaemia ...

The pathobiology of Aspergillus fumigatus
Trends in Microbiology, 2001Aspergillus fumigatus is the most prevalent airborne fungal pathogen in developed countries, and in immunocompromised patients causes a usually fatal invasive aspergillosis (IA). Understanding the pathobiology of this fungal species requires not only analysis of the putative fungal virulence factors that stimulate fungal growth and/or survival in the ...

Aspergillus fumigatus DHN-Melanin
2020Dihydroxynaphthalene melanin (DHN-melanin) is an integral component of the conidial cell wall surface, which has a central role in the pathogenicity of the major human airborne fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus. Although the biosynthetic pathway for A.

Mycoses (Berlin), 2018
Aspergillus fumigatus‐specific IgG is pivotal in making the diagnosis of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA). However, the cut‐off value for A. fumigatus‐specific IgG remains unknown.

Serological studies on Aspergillus fumigatus
Mycopathologia et Mycologia Applicata, 19611) Extract was obtained by repeated cryolysis of acetone-dried mycelia ofAsp. fumigatus killed by formalin. High titer immune serum could be easily obtained by immunizing rabbits with this extract.

Production of melanin by Aspergillus fumigatus
Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2004Melanins, or melanin-like compounds, may play a role in the pathogenesis of a number of human fungal infections. This study investigated the production of melanin by the important opportunistic pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus. Conidia from A. fumigatus were harvested and treated with proteolytic enzymes, denaturant and hot, concentrated acid; this ...

Metabolism of progesterone by Aspergillus fumigatus
Journal of Steroid Biochemistry, 1982Abstract Metabolism of progesterone by a typical strain of Aspergillus fumigatus was studied. The four metabolites isolated were characterized as 5α-pregnane-3s-ol-20-one, 15s-hydroxy-1,4-pregnadiene-3,20-dione, 7s,15s-dihydroxy-4-pregnene-3,20-dione and 11α,15s-dihydroxy-4-pregnene-3,20-dione by the application of various spectrometric techniques.

The virulence of Aspergillus fumigatus [PDF]
, 2007 The aim of this chapter is to analyze Aspergillus fumigatus virulence in light of recent developments in genomics and our growing understanding of the complexity of the host–pathogen interaction. Readers interested in comprehensive summaries describing putative virulence determinants of A.

Insertional mutagenesis of Aspergillus fumigatus
Molecular and General Genetics MGG, 1998We have investigated transformation with heterologous DNA as a method for insertional mutagenesis of Aspergillus fumigatus. Two methods, polyethylene glycol-mediated transformation of protoplasts and electroporation of germinating spores, were used to establish conditions leading to single-copy integration of transforming DNA at different genomic sites.
