() can cause fungal infections in near-drowning victims, and an increasing number of cases have been reported. However, cases of bone and joint infections caused by are rare. In this case, a 35-year-old otherwise healthy Chinese female presented with aspiration pneumonia and knee arthritis after accidentally falling into sewage and near-drowning and underwent macrogenomic second-generation sequencing of arthrocentesis fluid, which showed .

It is very rare to see fungal arthritis and pyomyositis in immunocompetent patients. Here, we report a case of Scedosporium infection in an immunocompetent patient with interesting 18F-FDG PET/CT and 68Ga-NOTA UBI PET/CT findings.

Background: Scedosporium species are considered emerging pathogens causing illness in immunocompetent and immunocompromised hosts.
Case Report: A case of non-invasive pulmonary (fungal ball) infection by Scedosporium apiospermum complex in a 49-year-old female with bronchiectasis and cavities secondary to tuberculosis is described. The patient had a history of three years of cough and hemoptysis.
Construction of versatile plastic-degrading microbial consortia based on ligninolytic microorganisms associated with agricultural waste composting.

Unit of Microbiology, Department of Biology and Geology, CITE II-B, Agrifood Campus of International Excellence ceiA3, CIAIMBITAL, University of Almeria, 04120, Almeria, Spain.
The accumulation of plastic in ecosystems is one of the most critical environmental concerns today. Plastic biodegradation using individual microbial cultures has shown limited success, which can be improved by employing microbial consortia with appropriate enzymatic capabilities. This study aims to assemble and characterize microbial consortia using ligninolytic fungi and bacteria isolated from an agricultural waste composting process, with the goal of enhancing the efficiency of plastic biodegradation.

Background: Scedosporium/Lomentospora species are ranked as the second most frequently isolated filamentous fungi from cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Previously, we demonstrated that the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for voriconazole and posaconazole increased when performed on a mucin-containing synthetic CF sputum medium (SCFM) compared to the standard medium, RPMI-1640. In this study, we have expanded the MIC comparison to four additional azoles and investigated characteristics linked to azole resistance in Scedosporium apiospermum, Scedosporium minutisporum, Scedosporium aurantiacum and Lomentospora prolificans.
