The incidence of opportunistic fungal infections has increased in recent decades due to the growing proportion immunocompromised patients our society. Candida krusei been described as a causative agent disseminated susceptible patients. Although its prevalence remains low among yeast (2–5%), intrinsic resistance fluconazole makes this important from epidemiologic aspects. Non mammalian organisms are feasible models study virulence and drug efficacy. In work we have used lepidopteran Galleria...
Dermatophytes are fungi responsible for a disease known as dermatophytosis. Biofilms sessile microbial communities surrounded by extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) with increased resistance to antimicrobial agents and host defenses. This paper describes, the first time, characteristics of Trichophyton rubrum T. mentagrophytes biofilms. Biofilm formation was analyzed light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confocal laser (CLSM) well staining crystal violet safranin....
Methodology for testing natural compounds determination of antifungal activity had been developed with adaptations. The most used are bioautography and agar diffusion a complex no defined media. In this study, different methods products discussed the use M27-A2 microdilution test from CLSI (Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute, 2002), as general standard methodology plant extracts is recommended.
Background Serological tests have long been established as rapid, simple and inexpensive tools for the diagnosis follow-up of PCM. However, different protocols antigen preparations are used few attempts to standardize routine serological methods not succeeded. Methodology/Principal findings We compared performance six Brazilian reference centers Each center provided 30 sera PCM patients, with positive high, intermediate low titers, which were defined "reference" titers. then applied its own...
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis yeast cells can enter mammalian and may manipulate the host cell environment to favour their own growth survival. Moreover, fibronectin several other extracellular matrix proteins are recognized by various components of extracts. The present study was designed isolate characterize a fibronectin-binding protein from P. brasiliensis. We also compared strain 18, tested before (Pb18a) after (Pb18b) animal passage, in relation its adhesion invasion processes....
Paracoccidioidomycosis is a systemic mycosis caused by the dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. Understanding interactions between P. brasiliensis and host tissue depends on study of different steps process colonization, especially adhesion, in which pathogen recognizes ligands surface cells. This aimed to verify role enolase cell-fungus interaction ability bind extracellular matrix components, determine its subcellular localization, amino acid sequence. The data revealed that...
The pathogenic fungus, Histoplasma capsulatum, causes the respiratory and systemic disease 'histoplasmosis'. This is primarily acquired via inhalation of aerosolized microconidia or hyphal fragments H. capsulatum. Evolution this depends on ability capsulatum yeasts to survive replicate within alveolar macrophages. It known that adhesion host cells first step in colonization biofilm formation. Some microorganisms become attached biological non-biological surfaces due formation biofilms. Based...
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) can be found in various organisms, and could considered an alternative for pesticides used to control plant pathogens, including those affecting citrus. Brazil is the largest producer exporter of frozen concentrated orange juice world. However, citrus industry has been affected by several diseases such as canker huanglongbing (HLB), caused bacteria Xanthomonas citri subsp. (X.citri) Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CaLas), respectively. In order these putative...
