Abstract Knowledge of the relationships and thus the classification of fungi, has developed
rapidly with increasingly widespread use of molecular techniques, over the past 10–15 …

Scedosporium/Lomentospora fungi are increasingly recognized pathogens. As these fungi
are resistant to many antifungal agents, early diagnosis is essential for initiating targeted …

Lung infections play a critical role in cystic fibrosis (CF) pathogenesis. CF respiratory tract is
now considered to be a polymicrobial niche and advances in high-throughput sequencing …

The genus Scedosporium, which comprises at least five clinically relevant species, ie
Scedosporium apiospermum, Scedosporium boydii, Scedosporium aurantiacum …

SUMMARY Although Scedosporium species and Lomentospora prolificans are uncommon
causes of invasive fungal diseases (IFDs), these infections are associated with high mortality …

Scedosporium species are opportunistic fungi which preferentially affect patients with
underlying conditions such as immunosuppression or cystic fibrosis (CF). While being the …

Introduction: Considered for a long time to be exclusively responsible for chronic localized
infections, fungi of the genus Scedosporium have recently received a renewed interest …

The undeniable relevance of fungal infections caused by both yeasts and molds has
considerably augmented over the last four decades, becoming a serious health public …

Scedosporium species are common fungal pathogens in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). To
colonize the CF lungs, fungi must cope with the host immune response, especially the …

Scedosporiosis is an emerging fungal infection caused by Pseudallescheria/Scedosporium
complex species (PSC). This pathogen has been drawn significant interest in recent years …
