Research progress of Aspergillus fumigatus biofilms

Abstract

Abstract:

The frequency of invasive aspergillosis had dramatically increased year after year andthe high mortality rate had caused extensive concern of clinicians. The biofilm morphology which had been wildly recognized could enhanced pathogenicity to host and increase resistance to antimicrobial agents. Therefore, Biofilms might play an important role in causing high mortality rates. This review discussed the characteristics of Aspergillus fumigatus biofilm formation, biofilm detection methods and its mechanisms of drug resistance.

Key words: Aspergillus fumigatus, biofilms, detection method, drug resistance
