Integration of electron microscopy and solid-state NMR analysis for new views and compositional parameters of Aspergillus fumigatus biofilms

Abstract excerpt

The general ability and tendency of bacteria and fungi to assemble into bacterial communities, termed biofilms, poses unique challenges to the treatment of human infections. Fungal biofilms, in particular, are associated with enhanced virulence in vivo and decreased sensitivity to antifungals. Much attention has been given to the complex cell wall structures in fungal organisms, yet beyond the cell surface,...
