Abstract excerpt
To identify steps in fungal intermediary metabolism required by Aspergillus spp. during invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, we have developed murine models involving Aspergillus nidulans as the inoculum. The advantages of using A. nidulans over Aspergillus fumigatus or Aspergillus flavus, which are...
