Reactive oxidant species produced by phagocytes have been reported as being involved in
the killing of Aspergillus fumigatus. Fungal superoxide dismutases (SODs) that detoxify …

Cu, Zn superoxide dismutases (SODs) have been purified to homogeneity from Aspergillus
flavus and A. niger, which are significant causative agents of aspergillosis, and from A …

ABSTRACT The Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD) of Aspergillus fumigatus has
previously been purified and shown to be immunoreactive to the sera of patients with …

Aspergillus fumigatus is an important opportunistic fungal pathogen. This organism must be
able to adapt to stress changes in the microenvironment during host invasion and systemic …

Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are scavengers of superoxide radicals, one of the main
reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the cell. SOD-based ROS scavenging system constitutes …

Aspergillus fumigatus causes a wide range of diseases that include mycotoxicosis, allergic
reactions and systemic diseases (invasive aspergillosis) with high mortality rates …

Aspergillus fumigatus causes serious and frequently fatal infections in immunocompromised
patients. To investigate the regulation of virulence of this fungus, we constructed and …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydrogen peroxide, produced externally or during
normal metabolism, can damage different cell components and usually trigger a …

Macrophages and neutrophils kill the airborne fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus. The
dependency of this killing process on reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI) has been strongly …

Virulence of the fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus is in part based on the saprophytic
lifestyle that this mold has evolved. A crucial function for saprophytism resides in secreted …
