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
Identification of Medically Important Yeast Species by Sequence Analysis of the Internal Transcribed Spacer Regions
Shiang Ning Leaw,Hsien-Chang Chang,Hsiao Fang Sun,Richard Barton,Jean-Philippe Bouchara,Tsung Chain Chang +5 more
TL;DR: Identification of medically important yeasts by ITS sequencing, especially using the ITS2 region, is reliable and can be used as an accurate alternative to conventional identification methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical significance of Scedosporium apiospermum in patients with cystic fibrosis.
TL;DR: The results clearly demonstrate that the frequency of this fungus is largely underestimated and that it may trigger an inflammatory response, thus suggesting a pathogenic role in patients with cystic fibrosis.
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
Laminin receptors on Candida albicans germ tubes.
TL;DR: C. albicans possesses germ tube-specific surface receptors for laminin which could mediate its attachment to basement membranes and so contribute to the establishment of candidiasis.
