Abstract excerpt
Aspergilli represent unique pathogens. Based on their saprophytic life style they are able to colonize a variety of ecological niches, among them the immunocompromised individual. Distinct fungal attributes that play a role in pathogenicity of aspergilli have been described, and primary metabolism indisputably has to be taken into account for contributing to the virulence potential of this fungal genus. Here we...
