A protein–protein interaction inhibitor arrests the cell cycle in Aspergillus fumigatus

mBio
Invasive infections caused by Aspergillus fumigatus have high mortality rates, even when treated with the first-line agent voriconazole. The global emergence of azole resistance further increases treatment failure, underscoring the urgent need for ...

Fungal entomopathogens: new insights on their ecology [PDF]

, 2009
An important mechanism for insect pest control should be the use of fungal entomopathogens. Even though these organisms have been studied for more than 100 y, their effective use in the field remains elusive.

Diagnosis of fungal infections [PDF]

Mycoses, 1997
Summary. Fungal infections become more and more important due to their increasing incidence in immunocompromised patients. In these patients opportunistic fungi (Candida, Aspergillus, Cryptococcus) can cause life‐threatening infections. Diagnosis of fungal infections is difficult.

Polymorphisms in tumor necrosis factor-α increase susceptibility to intra-abdominal Candida infection in high-risk surgical ICU patients*

, 2014
To evaluate the influence of genetic polymorphisms on the susceptibility to Candida colonization and intra-abdominal candidiasis, a blood culture-negative life-threatening infection in high-risk surgical ICU patients.; Prospective observational cohort ...

Real-time quantitative PCR for analysis of candidate fungal biopesticides against malaria: Technique validation and first applications [PDF]

, 2009
Recent research has indicated that fungal biopesticides could augment existing malaria vector control tools. Here we present a set of methodologies to monitor the in vivo kinetics of entomopathogenic fungi in Anopheles in the presence or absence of ...

Using bar-seq as a proxy to study population dynamics of Aspergillus fumigatus deletion libraries during infection of mammalian cells [version 1; peer review: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations]

F1000Research
Background Pulmonary infections caused by Aspergillus fumigatus are a global health concern. In the lungs, A. fumigatus employs a variety of virulence and adaptation mechanisms that allows it to survive and evade local immune responses. A.

Host genotype shapes the foliar fungal microbiome of balsam poplar (Populus balsamifera) [PDF]

, 2013
Foliar fungal communities of plants are diverse and ubiquitous. In grasses endophytes may increase host fitness; in trees, their ecological roles are poorly understood.
