Abstract Species of Scedosporium and Lomentospora are considered as emerging
opportunists, affecting immunosuppressed and otherwise debilitated patients, although …

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

Banana (Musa spp.) is an important crop worldwide, but black Sigatoka disease caused by
the fungus Pseudocercospora fijiensis threatens fruit production. In this work, we examined …

Siderophores and particular TAFC have the potential to revolutionize diagnostic pathways
for invasive aspergillosis and other mould infections. However, larger multicentre studies are …

Siderophores play important roles in microbial iron piracy, and are applied as infectious
disease biomarkers and novel pharmaceutical drugs. Inductively coupled plasma and …

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 …

Scedosporium apiospermum and Lomentospora prolificans secrete siderophores (iron
scavengers) during hyphal proliferation. Siderophores are virulence factors and potential …
