Highlights in pathogenic fungal biofilms
A 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 ...

ABSTRACT Background There is a lack of contemporary studies addressing the prevalence rates and antifungal susceptibility of bloodstream infections (BSI) caused by rare yeasts (RY) from the Saccharomycotina subphylum. Objectives This 16‐year multicentre study (2007–2023) aimed to assess the prevalence and antifungal susceptibility of rare yeasts ...

ABSTRACT Background Although Aspergillus fumigatus remains the primary cause of invasive aspergillosis, other species—including emerging cryptic ones—are increasingly identified in clinical settings. These species often exhibit distinct antifungal susceptibility profiles, emphasising the importance of species‐level identification for effective patient ...

Imidazolium‐Based Ionic Liquids as Antifungal and Antibiofilm Agents Against Candida tropicalis
Candida sp. biofilms, particularly those formed on catheters, represent a major clinical challenge. This study evaluates ionic liquids using an experimental biofilm model, demonstrating significant antifungal activity and biofilm disruption, supporting their potential application as alternative strategies for device‐associated infection control ...

Specific leaf area (SLA) measurement protocols strongly shape trait estimates, especially for compound leaves. A whole‐leaf approach including lamina and petiole offers a cost‐effective, practical default. Protocol choice should match study goals, and transparent reporting is essential to ensure comparability and advance the use of SLA in ecological ...

Early State Research on Antifungal Natural Products
Nosocomial infections caused by fungi have increased greatly in recent years, mainly due to the rising number of immunocompromised patients. However, the available antifungal therapeutic arsenal is limited, and the development of new drugs has been slow.

Infrared Spectroscopy as a Promising Tool for Diagnosing and Typing Human Pathogenic Fungi
ABSTRACT Fungal infections are increasingly recognised as a global health challenge, responsible for millions of cases annually and substantial mortality, especially in immunocompromised individuals. Yet, the diagnosis of these infections remains notoriously difficult, often delayed by slow culture‐based methods or hindered by the high cost and ...
