Saccharide sources do not influence the biofilm formation in Scedosporium/Lomentospora species [PDF]
Abstract Scedosporium and Lomentospora species are ubiquitous saprophytic filamentous fungi that emerged as human pathogens with impressive multidrug-resistance profile.

Ibrexafungerp, a Novel Triterpenoid Antifungal in Development for the Treatment of Mold Infections [PDF]
Molds are ubiquitous in the environment, and immunocompromised patients are at substantial risk of morbidity and mortality due to their underlying disease and the resistance of pathogenic molds to currently recommended antifungal therapies.

Autopsy Findings in a Case of Lomentospora prolificans Fungemia in Myelodysplastic Syndrome
Background Lomentospora prolificans is a soil‐, plant‐, or animal‐borne mold that can affect immunocompromised hosts. Most L. prolificans infections are identifiable in the bloodstream. L. prolificans fungemia has never been reported in an autopsy. Case Report We treated a 79‐year‐old man with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), MDS‐EB‐1 subtype.

Cyclophilin and enolase are the most prevalent conidial antigens of Lomentospora prolificans recognized by healthy human salivary IgA and cross-react with Aspergillus fumigatus [PDF]
Purpose: The study of the immunocompetent airways immune response may provide important information to improve the therapeutic efficacy against Lomentospora (Scedosporium) prolificans. So, this study aimed to identify the most prevalent conidial antigens

Disseminated Lomentospora prolificans infection that could have been predicted: A case report. [PDF]
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 has a high mortality rate.

Identification of Filamentous Fungi: An Evaluation of Three MALDI‐TOF Mass Spectrometry Systems
ABSTRACT Background Identification of filamentous fungi still poses a major challenge to laboratories. Matrix assisted laser desorption/ionisation time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOF MS) is a promising tool, since it offers low‐cost and fast results. Different MALDI‐TOF MS systems are available for routine laboratories.
