Exploring the Siderophore Portfolio for Mass Spectrometry-Based Diagnosis of Scedosporiosis and Lomentosporiosis [PDF]
ACS OmegaScedosporium apiospermum and Lomentospora prolificans secrete siderophores (iron scavengers) during hyphal proliferation. Siderophores are virulence factors and potential clinical biomarkers of invasive scedosporiosis and lomentosporiosis. Both strains secreted a uniform spectrum of siderophores, including coprogen B (CopB), N α-methyl-coprogen B ...
