Lignin-Modifying Enzymes in Scedosporium Species
Journal of Fungi, 2023 Scedosporium species are usually soil saprophytes but some members of the genus such as S. apiospermum and S. aurantiacum have been regularly reported as causing human respiratory infections, particularly in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Because of

Diagnostic Challenge and Treatment Delay in Drowning-Associated Pneumonia: A Case of Combined <i>Aeromonas</i>, <i>Legionella</i>, and <i>Aspergillus</i> Infection. [PDF]
Case Rep Infect DisDrowning‐associated pneumonia often involves multiple types of pathogens, including Aeromonas hydrophila, Legionella spp., and fungi. We report the case of an 82‐year‐old man who developed a rare combined infection with these three organisms after freshwater drowning. Initial therapy for typical aspiration pneumonia was ineffective.

Current Research in Microbial Sciences, 2023 Dispersion is an essential step in the lifecycle of biofilms, since it enables the dissemination of microbial cells and, consequently, the potential colonization of new sites. Filamentous fungi belonging to the Scedosporium/Lomentospora genera are opportunistic human pathogens able to form multidrug-resistant biofilms on surfaces of different chemical ...
