Cover Story: P. aeruginosa (Pa) and A. fumigatus (Af) are the most prominent bacterium and fungus in the airways of cystic fibrosis and immunocompromised patients. Each causes lung damage, especially in co-infection cases. Their interactions have been studied in vitro. We focused on the competition for iron (Fe), as shown in the figure. It shows the complexity; each microbe attempts to capture the available Fe via their siderophores, and they are dependent on the Fe content of the environment. The figure simplifies the competition by omitting every siderophore, Af toxins such as gliotoxin, fungal defensins, biosurfactants, and organic molecular volatiles. In this study, we examine competition in vivo. We show that the spatial arrangement affects it. Further studies, particularly in immunocompromised hosts, are needed. View this paper
