Abstract
Aspergillus fumigatus infections are frequent in immunocompromised individuals and rely on biofilm formation that is associated with increased tolerance to antimicrobials and reinfections. A three-dimensional polymeric model forming a scaffold covered by lung cells can mimic the alveolar microenvironment in which this pathogen is found and thus become an important model for studying host-…
Development of a three-dimensional polymeric structure to evaluate the effect of antimicrobials on the interaction of Aspergillus fumigatus, BP.MS
Abstract
Polymicrobial infections are becoming increasingly important since they rely on mixed biofilm formation, antimicrobial resistance increase, immunological evasion, less growth time and a number of other factors. One of the examples is the interaction between Aspergillus fumigatus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, very common in cystic fibrosis disease, leading to an intensification of the inflam…
