Cetaceans, which are integral to marine ecosystems, face escalating anthropogenic threats, including climate change and pollution, positioning them as critical sentinel species for ocean human health. This review explores the neglected realm of non-Candida yeasts in cetaceans, addressing gaps understanding their prevalence, pathogenicity, environmental impacts. By examining identified such Cryptococcus spp., Paracoccidioides several dimorphic fungi, this emphasizes global epidemiology...
Cetaceans, which are crucial in marine ecosystems, act as sentinels for ecosystem and human–environmental health. However, emerging fungal infections, particularly by Candida spp., pose a growing concern these mammals. This review consolidates current knowledge on the prevalence, clinical manifestations, species distribution, antifungal resistance of infections cetaceans. We detail diverse pathogenic impacts Candida, including respiratory, dermal, systemic afflictions, underscoring...
Stray cat populations can represent a significant threat of the transmission zoonotic diseases such as salmonellosis. The objective this study was to assess Salmonella carriage by free-living cats in Gran Canaria island and serovars involved, order inform those responsible for colonies about possible risk factors. One hundred rectal swabs feral were taken. strains serotyped accordance with Kauffman-White-Le-Minor technique. Of total 100 animals under study, 19% found be positive spp. This is...
The increase in the reptile population has led to a rise number of zoonotic infections due close contact with reptiles, reptile-associated salmonellosis being particularly relevant. California kingsnake invasion not only threatens endemic island Gran Canaria (Spain) but also poses serious public health problems by spreading pathogens and their antimicrobial resistance (AMR) environment. Thus, aim this study was assess occurrence, genetic diversity, AMR among Salmonella spp. strains isolated...
On intensive fish farms, 10% of the population dies exclusively from pathogens, and Photobacterium damselae subsp. Piscicida (Ph. Piscicida), bacteria causing pasteurellosis in marine aquaculture, is one major pathogens involved. The objective this study was to obtain new probiotic strains against order limit use chemotherapy, avoiding environmental repercussions generated by abusive these products. In study, 122 were isolated gills intestines different species later evaluated vitro...
Intensive fish farms are often affected by different organisms that produce infectious diseases. To control this situation, antibiotics have been used with negative repercussions for the environment and health. As an alternative to this, probiotics show more effective respectful results environment. The aim of project is obtain new potentially probiotic strains against one most relevant pathogens marine aquaculture, vibrios. These bacterial were isolated from gills intestines European...
Two studies have observed that growth media containing gentamicin can inhibit the of yeast organism Malassezia pachydermatis. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) this bactericidal antibiotic for has not been previously determined.To evaluate susceptibility M. pachydermatis isolates to gentamicin.The MIC was determined using a modified version M27-A3 microdilution method following guidelines Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. A Christensen's urea broth used enhance isolates....
spp. are known pathogens in fish, with their presence potentially resulting from the contamination of aquatic environment or improper handling. Accurate bacterial identification is crucial across various fields, including medicine, microbiology, and food industry, thus a range techniques available for this purpose. In study,
Summary Otitis caused by Malassezia pachydermatis is generally a common and recurrent disease in canine clinical pathology. The increased incidence of fungal resistant to antifungal both humans pets cause for concern associated with the indiscriminate use antifungals. Finding most effective disinfectants antifungals has become essential. To evaluate vitro inhibitory activity hydrogen peroxide on growth M. compare its efficacy commercial ear cleaners. test sensitivity antimicrobials was...
Previous studies have evaluated the action of gentamicin against Malassezia pachydermatis. The aim this study was to evaluate in vitro susceptibility M. pachydermatis aminoglycosides— gentamicin, tobramycin, netilmicin and framycetin. minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determined following methods M27-A3 microdilution Etest®. Etest® used determine tobramycin netilmicin. Kirby-Bauer test antibiotic MIC50 MIC90 were 8.12 μg/mL 32.5 by method for gentamicin. MIC50, Etest®, 8 64 tobramycin....
Ascotricha canariensis sp. nov. (Xylariaceae, Ascomycetes) isolated from soil of the Canary Islands is described and illustrated. It belongs to group species with cylindrical asci differentiated other by bearing ascomata short, single or once-branched setae presumed absence an anamorph.
