Identification of a fungal antibacterial endopeptidase that modulates immune responses

2024-09-13

Abstract excerpt

Aspergillus fumigatus is a saprophytic fungus dwelling in soil and on decaying plant material, but also an opportunistic pathogen in immunocompromised patients. In its environmental niche, A. fumigatus faces competition from other microorganisms including bacteria. Here, we describe the discovery of the first secreted antibacterial protein in A. fumigatus . We identified a secreted fungal endopeptidase, designat...
