Peptidorhamnomannan negatively modulates the immune response in a scedosporiosis murine model. [PDF]
Medical Mycology, 2016 In this study, we analyzed the impact of immunization with the peptidorhamnomannan (PRM) from the cell wall of the fungus Scedosporium (Lomentospora) prolificans in a murine model of invasive scedosporiosis. Immunization with PRM decreased the survival of mice infected with S. prolificans. Immunization of mice with PRM led to decreased secretion of pro-

A case of central nervous system infection with Scedosporium boydii
iLABMED, Volume 2, Issue 3, Page 221-225, September 2024.This research described a case of a man with brain abscesses infected with Scedosporium. boydii. It emphasized the importance of using multiple methods for early identification, including microscopy, culture combined with Matrix‐assisted laser desorption ionization time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOF MS), internal transcribed spacer (ITS ...
