Implication

Human-like models tested antifungals voriconazole and amphotericin B against biofilm formation by A. fumigatus, indicating significance for studying invasive pulmonary aspergillosis.

Key Points

Both human-like models tested antifungal effects against Aspergillus fumigatus biofilms.
Amphotericin B showed the strongest inhibition after 24 hours in precision cut lung slices.
Significant anti-biofilm effects were found against early-stage biofilm in the co-culture model.
The precision cut lung slice model closely resembles human conditions and can enhance research on biofilm treatments.
