Tối ưu hóa điều kiện thí nghiệm đánh giá độc lực in vivo của vi nấm sử dụng ấu trùng của bướm Galleria mellonella
Abstract
Mucormycosis is emerging as one of the dangerous fungal infections with a high mortality rate, especially in immunocompromised patients, such as those with HIV, organ transplant, diabetes, or Covid-19 . Studies on the pathogenic mechanism, the interaction between the pathogen and the host are of interest to scientists. However, the experimental conditions to evaluate the virulence of fungal pathogens in vivo have not been unified in a number of recent studies. This report investigates the optimization of experimental and culture conditions using the animal model Galleria mellonella moth larvae infected by spores of the pathogenic fungus Mucor lusitanicus.
