Differential Antifungal Activity of Human and Cryptococcal Melanins with Structural Discrepancies
Néstor Correa,Cristian Covarrubias,Paula I. Rodas,Germán Hermosilla,Verónica Rachel Olate,Cristián Valdés,Wieland Meyer,Fabien Magne,Cecilia V. Tapia +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that human melanin is more active than the two fungal melanins against Cryptococcus, and some physico-chemical differences were found but they do not explain the differences in the antifungal activity against cryptococcus of human and cryptococcal melanins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sharon C.-A. Chen,Shilpa Patel,Wieland Meyer,Belinda Chapman,Hong Yu,Karen Byth,Peter G. Middleton,Helena Nevalainen,Tania C. Sorrell,Tania C. Sorrell +9 more
TL;DR: This balance may influence the appearance of Scedosporium fungi in the airways, as P. aeruginosa undergoes phenotype transitions from non-mucoid to the mucoid form with progression of CF lung disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Challenges in Laboratory Detection of Fungal Pathogens in the Airways of Cystic Fibrosis Patients.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present guidelines for standardized processing of respiratory specimens and for their culture are urgently needed and should include recommendations for specific processing procedures, inoculum density, culture media, incubation temperature and duration of culture.
Journal ArticleDOI

Scedosporium and Lomentospora Infections: Contemporary Microbiological Tools for the Diagnosis of Invasive Disease.
Sharon C.-A. Chen,Catriona Halliday,Catriona Halliday,Martin Hoenigl,Oliver A. Cornely,Wieland Meyer +5 more
TL;DR: A review of tools for the detection and diagnosis of invasive scedosporiosis and lomentosporia can be found in this paper, where Scedosporium/Lomentuspora fungi are increasingly recognized pathogens and early diagnosis is essential for initiating targeted drug therapy.
