Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence and relevance of filamentous fungi in respiratory secretions of patients with cystic fibrosis – a review
Marc Pihet,Jacqueline Carrère,B. Cimon,Dominique Chabasse,Laurence Delhaes,Françoise Symoens,Jean-Philippe Bouchara +6 more
TL;DR: In CF patients, fungi may sometimes be responsible for deterioration of lung function, as occurs in allergic broncho-pulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), which is the most common fungal disease in this context.
Journal ArticleDOI
Melanin is an essential component for the integrity of the cell wall of Aspergillus fumigatus conidia
Marc Pihet,Patrick Vandeputte,Guy Tronchin,Gilles Renier,Patrick Saulnier,Sonia Georgeault,Romain Mallet,Dominique Chabasse,Françoise Symoens,Jean-Philippe Bouchara +9 more
TL;DR: Melanin is suggested to have an indirect role in virulence, because it is required for correct assembly of the cell wall layers of the conidia of A. fumigatus and the expression at the conidial surface of adhesins and other virulence factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of mass spectrometry to identify clinical Fusarium isolates
Carine Marinach-Patrice,Carine Marinach-Patrice,A. Lethuillier,A. Marly,Jean-Yves Brossas,Josepa Gené,Françoise Symoens,Annick Datry,Josep Guarro,Dominique Mazier,Dominique Mazier,Christophe Hennequin,Christophe Hennequin +12 more
TL;DR: MALDI-TOF yielded results within 1 h, making it a valuable tool for identifying clinical Fusarium isolates at the species level, and may also prove useful for identifying other clinically important moulds.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disseminated Scedosporium apiospermum Infection in a Cystic Fibrosis Patient After Double-lung Transplantation
Françoise Symoens,Christiane Knoop,Marc Schrooyen,Olivier Denis,Marc Estenne,Nicole Nolard,Frédérique Jacobs +6 more
TL;DR: Molecular typing of clinical isolates of S apiospermum performed by RAPD demonstrated that all isolates belonged to the same genotype, a frequent, but late colonizing fungal agent in CF patients.
