Scedosporium apiospermum, Scedosporium aurantiacum, Scedosporium minutisporum and Lomentospora prolificans: a comparative study of surface molecules produced by conidial and germinated conidial cells
BACKGROUND Scedosporium/Lomentospora species are opportunistic mould pathogens, presenting notable antifungal resistance.OBJECTIVES/METHODS We analysed the conidia and germinated conidia of S.apiospermum (Sap), S.aurantiacum (Sau), S.minutisporum (Smi) and L.prolificans (Lpr) by scanning electron microscopy and exposition of surface molecules by fl
