An Alanine Aminotransferase is Required for Polysaccharide Regulation and Resistance of Aspergillus fumigatus Biofilms to Echinocandin Treatment

J. D. Kerkaert, F. Le Mauff, B. R. Wucher, S. R. Beattie, E. M. Vesely, D. Sheppard, C. D. Nadell, R. A. Cramer

This study shows that alanine aminotransferase AlaA is essential for A. fumigatus biofilm formation and resistance to echinocandin antifungals, with its inhibition increasing drug susceptibility.
