Considerable evidence suggests that microbial biofilms play an important role in
periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) pathogenesis. Compared to free-floating planktonic …

Background Gliotoxin (GT) is the prototype of a class of epipolythiodioxopiperazines (ETPs)
which are secondary metabolites made by fungi organisms only eg, Aspergillus fumigatus …

Occupants may complain about indoor air quality in closed spaces where the officially
approved standard methods for indoor air quality risk assessment fail to reveal the cause of …

Lung infection with the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus (Af) is a common complication in cystic
fibrosis (CF) and is associated with loss of pulmonary function. We established a fungal …

Fungal biofilm-related infections, most notably those caused by the Candida and Aspergillus
genera, need to be diagnosed accurately and rapidly to avoid often unfavorable outcomes …

The mold Aspergillus fumigatus (A. fumigatus) is known as human pathogen and can cause
life-threatening infections in humans with a weakened immune system. This is a known …

Abstract Aspergillus (A.) fumigatus, one of the most common causes of life-threatening
fungal infections in immunocompromised patients, shows resistance to antifungal agents as …

Pathogenic fungi produce several mycotoxins and one of them is gliotoxin which is mostly
produced by Aspergillus fumigatus. A. fumigatus is a saprophytic and ubiquitous fungus that …

Aspergillus fumigatus can produce in vitro an extracellular hydrophobic matrix with biofilm
features under static growth conditions. Microbial quorum sensing (QS) system regulates …

Biofilm formation has been detected quite early in the fossil record (~ 3.25 billion years ago)
and is common throughout a diverse range of organisms in both the Archaea and bacteria …
