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.

Strain specific persistence in the murine lung of Aspergillus fumigatus conidia causes an Allergic Broncho-Pulmonary Aspergillosis-like disease phenotype

J. T. Jones, K.-W. Liu, X. Wang, C. H. Kowalski, B. S. Ross, K. A. M. Mills, J. D. Kerkaert, T. M. Hohl, L. A. Lofgren, J. E. Stajich, J. J. Obar, R. A. Cramer

This study identifies an A. fumigatus strain, W72310, that persists in the mouse lung and causes ABPA-like disease without significant hyphal growth.

A Ssd1 homolog impacts trehalose and chitin biosynthesis and contributes to virulence in Aspergillus fumigatus

A. Thammahong, S. Dhingra, K. M. Bultman, J. D. Kerkaert, R. A. Cramer

This study identifies SsdA as a key regulator of trehalose and cell wall biosynthesis in A. fumigatus, impacting virulence in a murine infection model.
