Implementation of MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry to Identify Fungi From the Indoor Environment as an Added Value to the Classical Morphology-Based Identification Tool
collaboration with Brussels Environment RCIB / CRIPI and identified by both microscopy and MALDI- TOF MS in Sciensano’s Indoor Mycology laboratory. Spectra obtained via MALDI- TOF MS were compared with data ...
Systemic antifungal drug use in Belgium-One of the biggest antifungal consumers in Europe.
on a national level are scarce although of high interest to compare trends and the associated epidemiology in other countries and to assess the need for antifungal stewardship programmes. OBJECTIVES: ...
Decision criteria for MALDI-TOF MS-based identification of filamentous fungi using commercial and in-house reference databases
established. Furthermore, it remains unknown how far increasing the number of spots to compare results might improve identification performance. In this study, we used in-house and Bruker reference databases as ...
Induction of the specific allergic immune response is independent of proteases from the fungus Alternaria alternata.
untreated or heat treated (protease inactivated) extracts were compared in BALB /c, C57BL /6, TLR4 KO, and MyD88 KO mice. In BALB /c mice, both extracts induced similar lung inflammation, upregulation of ...
Investigation of inflammatory and allergic responses to common mold species: Results from in vitro experiments, from a mouse model of asthma, and from a group of asthmatic patients.
allergenic properties of more typical indoor species Aspergillus versicolor, P. chrysogenum, C. cladosporioïdes, and C. sphaerospermum that were compared to A. alternata and A. fumigatus. In a mouse model, ...
