Dot Immunobinding Assay for the Rapid Serodetection of Scedosporium/Lomentospora in Cystic Fibrosis Patients [PDF]

Journal of Fungi, 2023
The detection of Scedosporium/Lomentospora is still based on non-standardized low-sensitivity culture procedures. This fact is particularly worrying in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), where these fungi are the second most common filamentous fungi ...

Disseminated Lomentospora prolificans infection that could have been predicted: A case report. [PDF]

IDCases
Lomentospora prolificans is a rare, filamentous fungus, that causes a disseminated infection in immunocompromised individuals. Disseminated infections caused by the fungus are difficult to diagnose early. It is resistant to multiple antifungal agents and

Investigation of a Lomentospora prolificans case cluster with whole genome sequencing [PDF]

Medical Mycology Case Reports, 2020
Lomentospora prolificans has caused outbreaks in immunocompromised patients. We performed whole genome sequencing (WGS) on 4 L. prolificans isolates from infections occurring during an 8-month period in the haematology unit at Hospital 1., and 2 isolates

In Vitro Activity of the Novel Antifungal Olorofim against Scedosporium and Lomentospora prolificans

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Scedosporium spp. and Lomentospora prolificans are an emerging group of fungi refractory to current antifungal treatments. These species largely affect immunocompromised individuals but can also be lung colonizers in cystic fibrosis patients.
