Over the last years, the interkingdom microbial interactions concerning bacteria and fungi cohabiting and/or responsible for human pathologies have been investigated. In this context, the Gram-negative bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa and fungal species belonging to the Scedosporium/Lomentospora genera are widespread, multidrug-resistant, emergent, opportunistic pathogens that are usually co-isolated in patients with cystic fibrosis. The available literature reports that P. aeruginosa can inhibit the in vitro growth of Scedosporium/Lomentospora species; however, the complex mechanisms behind this phenomenon are mostly unknown.
