<i>Aspergillus fumigatus</i>MedA governs adherence, host cell interactions and virulence
4 Nov 2009
Abstract excerpt
In medically important fungi, regulatory elements that control development and asexual reproduction often govern the expression of virulence traits. We therefore cloned the Aspergillus fumigatus developmental modifier MedA and characterized its role in conidiation, host cell interactions and virulence. As in the model organism Aspergillus nidulans, disruption of medA in A. fumigatus dramatically reduced...
