Abstract

<jats:p> <jats:named-content content-type="genus-species">Aspergillus fumigatus</jats:named-content> is an opportunistic fungal pathogen in humans. During infection, <jats:named-content content-type="genus-species">A. fumigatus</jats:named-content> is predicted to use host carbon sources, such as acetate, present in body fluids and peripheral tissues, to sustain growth and promote colonization and invasion. </jats:p>
