“…gliotoxin). Increasing evidence supports a significant role of gliotoxin in hampering various defence mechanisms of the host, leading to virulence enhancement (Kupfahl et al ., ; Hof & Kupfahl, ; Kwon‐Chung & Sugui, ). The level of gliotoxin production by A. fumigatus isolates can vary or even be completely absent (Lewis et al ., ; Kosalec & Pepeljnjak, ; Boudra & Morgavi, ; Kupfahl et al ., ; Pereyra et al ., ; E. Van Pamel, E. Daeseleire, M. Heyndrickx, L. Herman, A. Verbeken & G. Vlaemynck, unpublished data).…”
