TL;DR: The virulence of this fungus is multifactorial, associated with its structure, its capacity for growth and adaptation to stress conditions, its mechanisms for evading the immune system and its ability to cause damage to the host.

TL;DR: The current review presents recent findings and summarizes the most relevant points, including the Scedosporium/Lomentospora taxonomy, environmental distribution, epidemiology, pathology, virulence factors, immunology, diagnostic methods, and therapeutic strategies.

TL;DR: Members of the ECMM/ISHAM working group on Pseudallescheria/Scedosporium infections herein advocate a novel nomenclature for genera and species in Pseudscheria, Scedsporium and allied taxa.

TL;DR: The microbiota of eight spontaneous fermentation of white wine from different grape varieties and different wineries from the "Txakoli de Bizkaia" region in 1996 and 1997 campaigns was studied, finding that the yeast population was higher in grapes harvested in 1997, in which late summer and early autumn was warmer and drier.

TL;DR: Evidence that the opportunistic fungus Candida albicans increases the risk of carcinogenesis and metastasis is summarized, highlighting the need not only to control this type of infection during cancer treatment, especially given the major role of this yeast species in nosocomial infections, but to find new therapeutic approaches to avoid the pro-tumor effect of this fungal species.
