Background: Mucor circinelloides is an opportunistic fungus capable of causing mucormycosis, a highly aggressive infection of quick spreading. Besides, it also has a high mortality rate due to late diagnosis and difficult treatment.

Aims: In this study we have identified the most immunoreactive proteins of the secretome and the total protein extract of M.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Aitana Arbizu"

  • - Aitana Arbizu's research primarily focuses on the identification of immunoreactive proteins associated with Mucor circinelloides, an opportunistic fungus known for causing serious infections, particularly in immunocompromised individuals.
  • - The study, published in October 2021, aims to enhance understanding of the fungal pathogenicity by pinpointing specific antigens recognized by the sera from infected mice, which could facilitate better diagnosis and treatment approaches.
  • - The findings highlight the crucial need for early detection strategies and effective therapeutic interventions against mucormycosis, a disease with a high mortality rate linked to delayed diagnosis.*
