Scedosporium species and Lomentospora prolificans fungaemia is uniformly fatal in patients with haematological malignancy

open access: yesInternal Medicine Journal, Volume 53, Issue 8, Page 1489-1491, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Scedosporium and Lomentospora species are environmental moulds that are virulent in immunocompromised hosts and rarely cause bloodstream infection (BSI). Patients with Scedosporium and Lomentospora species BSI were identified by the state public laboratory service in Queensland, Australia, over a 20‐year period.

Antifungal chemotherapies and immunotherapies for the future

open access: yesParasite Immunology, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Human fungal pathogens cause a broad plethora of infections, spanning cutaneous dermatophytoses to invasive infections in immunocompromised hosts. As eukaryotic pathogens are capable of morphotype switching, they present unique challenges both for drug development and the immunological response.

A Bibliometric Review on Candida auris of the First Fifteen Years of Research (2009‐2023)

open access: yesBioMed Research International, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Introduction. Candida auris is a relatively novel pathogen first described in 2009 in Japan. It has increased its presence worldwide, becoming a public health concern due to its innate resistance to antifungals and outbreak potential. Methods.

Toward more potent imidazopyridine inhibitors of Candida albicans Bdf1: Modeling the role of structural waters in selective ligand binding

open access: yesJournal of Computational Chemistry, Volume 43, Issue 32, Page 2121-2130, December 15, 2022., 2022
The co‐crystal structure of an imidazopyridine ligand (1) complex with Candida albicans Bdf1 BD2, a novel anti‐fungal drug target, reveals that one (W1) among six structural water molecules has been displaced. Molecular dynamic simulations provided insight into the mechanistic role of the displacement process.

Screening the Tocriscreen™ bioactive compound library in search for inhibitors of Candida biofilm formation

open access: yesAPMIS, Volume 130, Issue 9, Page 568-577, September 2022., 2022
Biofilms formed by Candida species present a significant clinical problem due to the ineffectiveness of many conventional antifungal agents, in particular the azole class. We urgently require new and clinically approved antifungal agents quickly for treatment of critically ill patients.

Fungal Cell Wall: Emerging Antifungals and Drug Resistance

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The cell wall is an essential component in fungal homeostasis. The lack of a covering wall in human cells makes this component an attractive target for antifungal development. The host environment and antifungal stress can lead to cell wall modifications
