Melanin is an essential component for the integrity of the cell wall of Aspergillus fumigatus conidia

1 Jan 2009

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Aspergillus fumigatus is the most common agent of invasive aspergillosis, a feared complication in severely immunocompromised patients. Despite the recent commercialisation of new antifungal drugs, the prognosis for this infection remains uncertain. Thus, there is a real need to discover new targets for therapy. Particular attention has been paid to the biochemical composition and organisation of the...
