Abstract
⺠Adherence to host constituents is a key early step in the pathogenesis of invasive aspergillosis. ⺠Early studies focused on the identification of fungal proteins as adhesins. ⺠Recently fungal cell wall and secreted glycans have been implicated in adherence. ⺠Galactosaminogalactan, a component of the extracellular matrix mediates adherence.
