Cell Wall Composition Heterogeneity between Single Cells in Aspergillus fumigatus Leads to Heterogeneous Behavior during Antifungal Treatment and Phagocytosis
The fungus Aspergillus fumigatus can cause invasive lung diseases in immunocompromised patients resulting in high mortality. Treatment using antifungal compounds is often unsuccessful. Average population measurements hide what is happening at the individual cell level. We set out to test what impact...
