Implementation of MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry to Identify Fungi From the Indoor Environment as an Added Value to the Classical Morphology-Based Identification Tool
molds is generally performed by microscopy. This method has, however, some limitations as it requires mycologists with high expertise while identification is often limited to the genus level. Therefore, ...
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: ...
Black aspergilli: A remaining challenge in fungal taxonomy?
niger (n = 9). Decreased antifungal susceptibility to azoles was observed in clinical isolates of the /tubingensis clade. This emphasizes the importance of identification up to species level or at least ...
Decision criteria for MALDI-TOF MS-based identification of filamentous fungi using commercial and in-house reference databases
identification of 87.41% (in-house database) and 35.15% (Bruker database) of isolates, with a positive predictive value (PPV) of 1 at the genus level for both databases as well as 0.89 PPV (in-house database) and ...
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.
lavages fluids. A. fumigatus also induced the early accumulation of neutrophils but with lower levels of inflammatory markers. Chronic treatment induced variable response according to species: ...
