Produktbeschreibung

Immunogen: Soluble extract from A. fumigatus, A. flavus, A. niger and A. terreus.

Beschreibung: The genus Aspergillus includes over 185 species. Around 20 species have beenreported as causative agents of opportunistic infections in humans. Among these,Aspergillus fumigatus is the most commonly isolated species, followed by Aspergillusflavus. Aspergillus fumigatus is the major cause of aspergillosis. This organism causesboth invasive and allergic aspergillosis. Aspergillus also produce fungal toxins calledmycotoxins. Aflatoxin is produced by Aspergillus flavus as it grows on corn and peanuts.The toxin is poisonous to humans by ingestion and causes liver disease. Aspergillusnidulans can produce the mycotoxin sterigmatocystin. This toxin has been shown toproduce liver and kidney damage in lab animals. Aspergillus oschraceus,found in grains,soil and salted food products can produce a kidney toxin called oschratoxin A, whichmay produce oschratoxicosis in humans. Ochratoxin may also be produced by otheraspergillus and penicillium species. Other toxins that can be produced by this fungusinclude penicillic acid, xanthomegnin and viomellein. Aspergillus infections have a veryhigh mortality rate. Their incidence is growing because of the increased number ofimmunocompromised patients. Previous to antibodies such as these, special stainswere used to identify aspergillus. Aspergillus oryzae and Aspergillus niger are usedextensively in industrial scale fermentation to produce enzymes for processinghousehold food and drink products.
