Aspergillus biofilms: clinical and industrial significance

Ramage, Gordon, Rajendran, Ranjith, Gutierrez-Correa, Marcel, Jones, Brian, Williams, Craig·2011·FEMS Microbiology Letters

Abstract

The biofilm phenotype is an increasingly important concept in mycological research. Recently, there has been a developing interest in whether Aspergillus species are truly able to form biofilms or not. Industrial mycologists have long been aware of biofilms and their benefit in fermentation processes, whereas clinically their role is uncertain. This review provides an update on the impact that Aspergillus biofilms have medically and industrially, and will discuss biofilm development, and our current understanding of its molecular basis. The role of exopolymeric substance and how this substance relates to antimicrobial recalcitrance will also be discussed.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Aspergillus is a fungal pathogen of great medical importance that can form biofilms both in vitro and in vivo.

    “Aspergillus is a fungal pathogen of great medical importance that can form biofilms both in vitro and in vivo (125, 159).”

    From <i>Candida albicans</i> Biofilms and Human Disease (2015) · cites this paper as [159]

  • Aspergillomas may form as Aspergillus fumigatus continues to proliferate in the respiratory tract, and these structures share many architectural characteristics with biofilms formed by other fungal species.

    “Aspergillomas, or dense hyphal balls, may also form as A. fumigatus continues to proliferate in the respiratory tract; these structures share many architectural characteristics with biofilms formed by other fungal species (159).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
