Aspergillus spp., especially A. fumigatus (Af) can colonize the airways and the lungs with
localized underlying conditions and further invade the surrounding lung tissues, even in …

The sequential pathogenesis of pulmonary aspergillosis was studied and the role of
inflammatory cytokines in host response to Aspergillus fumigatus was characterized in …

Objectives Antifungal monotherapy with polyenes, azoles or echinocandins is not always
effective for invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA). The main purpose of this study was to …

Background Aspergillus fumigatus is the main causative agent of aspergillosis. Infections
rarely occur in immunocompetent individuals, indicating efficient clearance of conidia by …

Aspergillus fumigatus, a thermotolerant fungus, is the main causative agent of invasive
pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) in immunocompromised patients that is associated with high …

Aspergillus fumigatus (AF) is often pathogenic in immune-deficient individuals and can
cause life-threatening infections such as invasive aspergillosis. The pulmonary epithelial …

BACKGROUND Aspergillus fumigatus can colonise the airways and the lungs with localised
underlying conditions and occasionally invade the surrounding lung tissues even in subjects …

Previous research indicated that hyphae of Aspergillus fumigatus (A. fumigatus) rather than
