Live imaging and quantitative analysis of Aspergillus fumigatus growth and morphology during inter-microbial interaction with Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) and Aspergillus fumigatus (AF) chronically colonize the airways of patients with cystic fibrosis or chronic immunosuppression and mutually affect each other’s pathogenesis. Here, we evaluated IncuCyte time-lapse imaging and NeuroTrackTM (NT) analysis (Wurster et al., 2019...
