InvasIve Fungal InFectIons: When to suspect and hoW to Manage?

Since invasive fungal infections are associated with very high mortality, a high degree of suspicion is required for early diagnosis which is crucial for successful outcome. Prolonged use of broad spectrum antibiotics, cancer chemotherapy, transplant immunosuppression and overall increase...

Tracking the immunopathological response to Pseudomonas aeruginosa during respiratory infections

Repeated cycles of infections, caused mainly by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, combined with a robust host immune response and tissue injury, determine the course and outcome of cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease. As the disease progresses, P. aeruginosa adapts to the host modifying dramatically its phenotype; however, it remains unclear whether and how bacterial adaptive variants and their persistence...
