Idenfitication and characterization of Tft1, a glycosyltransferase necessary for cell wall β,3-1,4-Glucan synthesis in Aspergillus fumigatus
Aspergillus fumigatusis a ubiquitous environmental soil fungus. With recent development and advancement in medical treatments leading to immunosuppression, there has been an increase in incidence in aspergillosis. With the emergence of antifungal resistance isolates and the continued high mortality...
