Influence of relevant cystic fibrosis bacteria on Scedosporium apiospermum and Scedosporium boydii growth and viability.

ABSTRACT: Cystic fibrosis (CF) causes a variety of symptoms in different organs, but the majority of the morbidity and mortality of CF is related with pulmonary conditions. Primary infections are usually bacterial, and when treated with antibiotics, yeast infections appear or become more evident. Studies show that different microorganisms can co-inhabit the same environment and the interactions could be synergistic or antagonistic. Using techniques including viable and non-viable cell-to-cell interactions, mixed culture in liquid, and solid media sharing or not the supernatant, this study has evaluated interactions between the fungal species Scedosporium apiospermum and Scedosporium boydii with the bacterial species Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Burkholderia cepacia.
