Editorial: Advances in Aspergillus fumigatus Pathobiology
Advances in Aspergillus fumigatus Pathobiology Aspergillus fumigatus and other Aspergillus spp. are ubiquitous in our environment. However, their potential to cause severe disease in humans was ignored for many centuries. The first reported case of presumed human aspergillosis is from 1791 during the French revolution. A 22-year old soldier sought medical attention for painful cheek swelling be...
متن کاملAspergillus fumigatus in Poultry
Aspergillus fumigatus remains a major respiratory pathogen in birds. In poultry, infection by A. fumigatus may induce significant economic losses particularly in turkey production. A. fumigatus develops and sporulates easily in poor quality bedding or contaminated feedstuffs in indoor farm environments. Inadequate ventilation and dusty conditions increase the risk of bird exposure to aerosolize...
متن کاملGlycosylinositolphosphoceramides in Aspergillus fumigatus.
Fungal glycosylinositolphosphoceramides (GIPCs) are involved in cell growth and fungal-host interactions. In this study, six GIPCs from the mycelium of the human pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus were purified and characterized using Q-TOF mass spectrometry and 1H, 13C, and 31P NMR. All structures have the same inositolphosphoceramide moiety with the presence of a C(18:0)-phytosphingosine conjugat...
متن کاملItraconazole resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus.
Invasive aspergillosis is an increasingly frequent opportunistic infection in immunocompromised patients. Only two agents, amphotericin B and itraconazole, are licensed for therapy. Itraconazole acts through inhibition of a P-450 enzyme undertaking sterol 14alpha demethylation. In vitro resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus to itraconazole correlated with in vivo outcome has not been previously d...
متن کاملAspergillus fumigatus antigens.
Cytosolic fractions of mycelial extracts from Aspergillus nidulans, A. flavus, and three different isolates of A. fumigatus, grown to stationary phase in Czapek-Dox-AOAC medium, were tested by immunoblotting for the presence of antigens reactive to 80 serum samples from aspergilloma patients. Fifty control serum samples were used to determine the specificity of the reactions. In the A. fumigatu...
