Highlights in pathogenic fungal biofilms
Revista Iberoamericana de Micología, 2014A wide variety of fungi have demonstrated the ability to colonize surfaces and form biofilms. Most studies on fungal biofilms have focused on Candida albicans and more recently, several authors have reported the involvement of other genera of yeasts and Candida species, as well as of filamentous fungi in the formation of biofilms, including ...

Current Biology
The fungal kingdom comprises an immense diversity of life forms. Fungi have adapted to highly distinct niches and constitute key components of all terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Through the secretion of very diverse enzymes they contribute to the degradation of organic compounds and thereby the recycling of nutrients.

Hyphal chemotropism in fungal pathogenicity
Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2016The ability to grow as filamentous hyphae defines the lifestyle of fungi. Hyphae are exposed to a variety of chemical stimuli such as nutrients or signal molecules from mating partners and host organisms. How fungi sense and process this chemical information to steer hyphal growth is poorly understood.

Unusual fungal pathogens in fungal rhinosinusitis
Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2000Approximately 300 fungal species are known to cause mycotic disease in humans and other animals. More than 50 of these species are documented as agents of rhinosinusitis. Most such infections are caused by species of Aspergillus, Rhizopus, Alternaria, Bipolaris, and Curvularia. A growing number, however, has been attributed to lesser known fungi. Here,

The role of zinc in the pathogenicity of human fungal pathogens
2021Fungal pathogens now account for an unprecedented burden on human health. Like all microorganisms, these fungi must successfully forage for essential micronutrients such as zinc in order to proliferate. However, pathogenic microbes face an additional hurdle in securing zinc from their environment: the action of host nutritional immunity which strictly ...

Overview of the Fungal Pathogens
2014This chapter provides basic knowledge of fungal biology that is necessary for proper comprehension of the intimate mechanisms and strategies that fungi have adopted in causing infections and diseases. Fungal morphogenesis, dimorphism, and phenotypic switching are now beginning to be explored at the molecular and genetic levels.

2012
Over the course of evolution, fungi have adapted to occupy specific niches, from symbiotically inhabiting the flora of the intestinal tract of mammals to saprophytic growth on leaf litter resting on the forest floor. In Plant Fungal Pathogens: Methods and Protocols, expert researchers in the field detail many of the methods which are now commonly used ...

Epithelial responses to fungal pathogens
Current Opinion in MicrobiologyEpithelial cells orchestrate immune responses against fungal pathogens. This review highlights advances in integrating epithelial cells in immune responses against inhaled molds and dimorphic fungi, and against Candida species that colonize mucosal surfaces.

Biological control of fungal pathogens
Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 1994Biological control of soil-borne plant pathogens is a potential alternative to the use of chemical pesticides, which have already been proved to be harmful to the environment. Several strains of the fungus Trichoderma have been isolated and found to be effective biocontrol agents of various soil-borne plant pathogenic fungi under greenhouse and field ...

Complement and fungal pathogens: an update
Mycoses, 2008SummaryFungal infections are a serious complication in immunocompromised patients such as human immunodeficiency virus‐infected individuals, patients with organ transplantations or with haematological neoplasia. The lethality of opportunistic fungal infection is high despite a growing arsenal of antimycotic drugs, implying the urgent need for ...
