Recent publications have argued that there are potentially serious consequences for researchers in recognising distinct genera the terminal fusarioid clade of family Nectriaceae. Thus, an alternate hypothesis, namely a very broad concept genus Fusarium was proposed. In doing so, however, significant body data supports Nectriaceae based on morphology, biology, and phylogeny is disregarded. A DNA 19 orthologous protein-coding genes presented to support at F1 node Here, we demonstrate...
Cryptococcosis is a major fungal disease caused by members of the Cryptococcus gattii and neoformans species complexes. After more than 15 years molecular genetic phenotypic studies much debate, proposal for taxonomic revision was made.
Non- albicans Candida species are emerging in the nosocomial environment, with multidrug-resistant (MDR) auris being most notorious example. Consequently, rapid and accurate identification has become essential.
Sporotrichosis is a fungal implantation disease of subacute/ chronic course caused by species the dimorphic fungus Sporothrix spp. This infection usually develops after traumatic inoculation contaminated soil, plants or organic material conidia into skin mucosa. The objective this work to contribute knowledge sporotrichosis in Uruguay providing report series cases diagnosed reference center.We conducted retrospective, observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study last 38 years.In...
Abstract The basidiomycetous yeast-like fungus Trichosporon asahii is increasingly encountered in the clinic and has been known to cause nosocomial infections. Here, we aim develop a microsatellite typing tool investigate genetic relatedness of isolates. Six markers were selected from nanopore long-read sequencing de novo assembled genome T. type-strain CBS 2479. PCR reactions amplified three di-, tri-, or tetranucleotide repeats, respectively. All six used analyze 111 isolates, including...
Introducción: La histoplasmosis es una micosis sistémica que afecta a humanos, su agente Histoplasma capsulatum, hongo dimorfo, ubicuo en la naturaleza. Frecuentemente se presenta como reactivación personas con infección por VIH/SIDA, manifestaciones polimórficas y diseminadas. Las lesiones mucocutáneas son importante llave diagnóstica.
<h3>Background</h3> Deep fungal infections have been a major cause of morbidity and mortality in HIV-infected host, gaining importance due to their severity poor prognosis. Because instituted antiretroviral therapy patients infected with HIV the last decade, it is expected that profile deep mycoses our country has changed, despite increase cases infection registered. The objective this study was report frequency mycosis population HIV-positive Montevideo, Uruguay. <h3>Method</h3> clinical...
Background: The incidence of cryptococcosis has increased over the past 30 years as result AIDS pandemia and immunossuppresive treatments. It been reported presence resistant strains in vitro to antifungal drugs. proposed correlation between minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) isolated C. neoformans clinical course is still controversial. aim this study was determine MICs fluconazole amphotericin B for cryptococcal meningitis patients. Methods: We performed a prospective 2009 y 2010...
Introduction: viral pneumonias increase the susceptibility to develop fungal secondary infections. With COVID-19 pandemic, multiple cases of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis associated with (PAAC) have been reported, increasing mortality. It is not recommended perform bronchoscopy during illness given risk aerosolization, so new techniques such as mini bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) emerge. The necessity a validating task for galactomannan (GM) measurement in samples obtained through mini-BAL...
