Infections with the filamentous fungus Aspergillus fumigatus are among the most devastating
of the systemic mycoses. Unlike most primary pathogens, which possess virulence traits that …

Aspergillus fumigatus is a well adapted, opportunistic fungus that causes a severe and
commonly fatal disease, invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA), in highly …

Various putative virulence factors of Aspergillus fumigatus have been studied over the past
decades. A. fumigatus gliotoxin is a potent inhibitor of the mucociliary system. Several fungal …

There has been an increase in data suggesting that besides air, hospital water is a potential
source of transmission of filamentous fungi, and in particular Aspergillus fumigatus …

Isolates of Aspergillus fumigatus that demonstrate resistance to itraconazole (ITZ) have been
described previously; however, the prevalence and clinical significance of ITZ resistance are …

To investigate the pathogenicity of Aspergillus fumigatus mutants lacking putative virulence
factors, we have developed a new murine model of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis based …
