Trichosporon asahii secretes a 30-kDa aspartic peptidase
Trichosporon asahii is a fungal opportunistic pathogen that causes superficial and deep-seated infections presenting high mortality. Very little is known about the virulence attributes produced by this fungus. Herein, aspartic peptidase production was identified in Brazilian clinical isolates of T. asahii by different methodologies.

Efficacy of Ethanol against Trichosporon asahii Biofilm in vitro [PDF]
Trichosporon asahii (T. asahii) can cause invasive infections, particularly catheter-related bloodstream infections (CR-BSIs). T. asahii biofilm, which is resistant to the most common clinical antifungal agents, may play an important role in these life-threatening infections.

Fungal DNA‐barcoding on a chip: Magnetoresistive biosensors for yeast infection diagnosis
The development of a fungal pathogen identification chip is herein demonstrated. Hybridization dynamics were tested against 58 species in silico and 4 species on chip. 95% accuracy, 91% sensitivity, 98% specificity and femtomolar limit of detection were achieved. Future perspectives include the integration of sample pre‐treatment modules.

Profile of susceptibility in vitro of Trichosporon asahii and Trichosporon inkin strains against cyclic imides [PDF]
In vitro susceptibility testing of Trichosporon asahii (13 strains) and T. inkin (13 strains) against cyclic imides (succinimides, naphtalimides and maleimides) in concentrations of 200 to 6,25 µg/mL was performed according to the diffusion agar method ...

Structural and functional properties of the Trichosporon asahii glucuronoxylomannan
The virulence attributes of Trichosporon asahii are virtually unknown, despite its growing relevance as causative agent of superficial and invasive diseases in humans. Glucuronoxylomannan (GXM) is a well described virulence factor of pathogenic species in the Cryptococcus genus.

ABSTRACT Introduction Pulmonary complications due to infection contribute significantly to post‐haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) morbidity and mortality. Standard microbiological investigations, when performed on bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid, can take days to weeks to confirm a diagnosis.
