Fig. 6

Beginning with isolating 252 A. fumigatus strains from hospitals and soil, we generated a comprehensive pan-GEM for deriving 252 strain-specific GEMs. By including lung microbiome analysis and simulating fungal-lung microbiome interactions, we predicted and experimentally tested nutritional environments for supporting lung bacteria that impact A. fumigatus growth. Both lung bacterial communities and metabolites have the potential to affect A. fumigatus growth and thus the effectiveness of drugs to treat infections by this opportunistic fungal pathogen.
