Molecular and cellular responses of the pathogenic fungus Lomentospora prolificans to the antifungal drug voriconazole.
The filamentous fungus Lomentospora (Scedosporium) prolificans is an emerging opportunistic pathogen associated with fatal infections in patients with disturbed immune function. Unfortunately, conventional therapies are hardly of any use against this fungus due to its intrinsic resistance. Therefore...
