Biosynthetic gene clusters, secondary metabolite profiles, and cards of virulence in the closest nonpathogenic relatives of <i>Aspergillus fumigatus</i>
2020-04-10
Abstract excerpt
Aspergillus fumigatus is a major human pathogen that causes hundreds of thousands of infections yearly with high mortality rates. In contrast, Aspergillus fischeri and the recently described Aspergillus oerlinghausenensis , the two species most closely related to A. fumigatus , are not known to be pathogenic. Some of the “cards of virulence” that A. fumigatus possesses are secondary metabolites that impair the...
