Molecular cloning and biochemical characterization of a Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase from Scedosporium apiospermum. [PDF]
A Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase has been characterized from Scedosporium apiospermum, a fungus which often colonizes the respiratory tract of patients with cystic fibrosis. Enzyme production was stimulated by iron starvation.

Induced Chronic Rhinosinusitis in Rats Leads to Secondary Changes in Sinonasal Microbiota
ABSTRACT Background The microbiota may play a role in maintaining and perpetuating inflammation in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). This study aimed to induce CRS in rats and evaluate microbiota composition compared to controls. Methods Sixteen male Wistar rats were used.

The Study of Microbial Physiology Under Microoxic Conditions Is Critical but Neglected
Microbial physiology is mainly studied under aerobic or anaerobic/anoxic conditions, neglecting microbial behaviours in diverse microoxic conditions. The current article revisits the definition of microoxia in light of recent developments in oxygen‐sensing technology and emphasises the need to understand microbial physiology and growth behaviours of ...

PROSTHETIC VALVE ENDOCARDITIS CAUSED BY SCEDOSPORIUM APIOSPERMUM
Scedosporium apiospermum, the asexual state of Pseudallescheria boydii, is increasingly recognized as an opportunistic pathogen. We report a case of prosthetic valve endocarditis caused by this organism that developed in a patient following cardiac surgery.

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.
