Treatment of Aspergillosis. [PDF]
Infections caused by Aspergillus spp. remain associated with high morbidity and mortality. While mold-active antifungal prophylaxis has led to a decrease of occurrence of invasive aspergillosis (IA) in those patients most at risk for infection ...

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.

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

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.

Infections caused by Scedosporium/Lomentospora species: Clinical and microbiological findings in 21 cases [PDF]
The clinical and microbiological characteristics of infections caused by Scedosporium/ Lomentospora species in 21 patients are described. We searched retrospectively the records for Scedosporium/ Lomentospora species seen at the University Hospital Virgen de las Nieves from 2006 to 2017. Out of them, 16 were male; mean age at diagnosis was 57.8 (±SD 15)
