Aspergillus fumigatus contributes to invasive and allergic pulmonary disease in immunocompromised individuals. The pulmonary mucus of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients displays elevated levels of the pleiotropic cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide LL-37 and the aim of this work was to assess the effect o...

Larvae of the greater wax moth Galleria mellonella are an ideal in vivo model to quickly and easily assess the virulence of a range of human pathogens, to comprehensively analyse the host – pathogen interactome and to reproducibly evaluate the in vivo toxicity and efficacy of anti-microbial agents. ...

Galleria mellonella larvae were administered an inoculum of Candida albicans and the cellular and proteomic response to infection over the first 24 hours was monitored. The yeast cell density in infected larvae declined initially but replication commenced six hours post-infection. The hemocyte densi...

The humoral immune response of Galleria mellonella exposed to Mycobacterium bovis BCG (vaccine strain), 1x107 CFU (10 ul inoculum) were injected into the larvae. For low dose BCG challenge, 1x105 CFU (10 ul) were injected. For larval challenge with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP), ~1.5x106 CFU...

Mycetoma is a neglected chronic and granulomatous infection primarily associated with the fungal pathogen Madurella mycetomatis. Infection is characterised by the formation of fungal grains inside the infected tissue which commonly result in severe deformity and disability. Currently the biochemical...

The antimicrobial properties of silver have been exploited for many centuries and continue to gain interest in the fight against antimicrobial drug resistance. The broad-spectrum activity and low toxicity of silver has led to its incorporation into a wide range of novel antimicrobial agents, includi...

This study assessed the development of disseminated candidiasis within Galleria mellonella larvae and characterised the proteomic responses of Candida albicans to larval hemolymph. Infection of larvae with an inoculum of 1 × 106 yeast cell reduced larval viability 24 (53.33 ± 3.33%), 48 (33.33 ± 3....
