Invasive aspergillosis is a deadly fungal disease; more than 400,000 patients are infected worldwide each year and the mortality rate can be as high as 50-95%.

The Volatome of Aspergillus fumigatus [PDF]
ABSTRACT Early detection of invasive aspergillosis is absolutely required for efficient therapy of this fungal infection. The identification of fungal volatiles in patient breath can be an alternative for the detection of Aspergillus fumigatus that still remains problematic.

Role of Hydrophobins in Aspergillus fumigatus [PDF]
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 A. fumigatus there are seven hydrophobins (RodA–RodG) belonging to class I and III.

The negative cofactor 2 complex is a key regulator of drug resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus
The frequency of antifungal resistance, particularly to the azole class of ergosterol biosynthetic inhibitors, is a growing global health problem. Survival rates for those infected with resistant isolates are exceptionally low. Beyond modification of the

Catalases of Aspergillus fumigatus [PDF]
ABSTRACT Upon infection of a host, the pathogenic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus is attacked by the reactive oxygen species produced by phagocytic cells. Detoxification of hydrogen peroxide by catalases was proposed as a way to overcome this host response. A.

On the lineage of Aspergillus fumigatus isolates in common laboratory use.
The origin of isolates routinely used by the community of Aspergillus fumigatus researchers is periodically a matter of intense discussion at our centre, as the construction of recombinant isolates have sometimes followed convoluted routes, the ...

Mechanisms of Triazole Resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus.
The ubiquitous fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus is the primary cause of opportunistic mold infections in humans. Aspergilli disseminate via asexual conidia passively traveling through air currents to germinate within a broad range of environs ...
