In order to elucidate the distribution of Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii in Mediterranean basin, an extensive environmental survey was carried out during 2012-2015. A total 302 sites located 12 countries were sampled, 6436 samples from 3765 trees collected 5% found be colonized by cryptococcal yeasts. isolated 177 13. 27% Ceratonia, 10% Olea, Platanus Prunus a lower percentage other tree genera. The 13 isolates five Eucalyptus, four two Pinus Olea trees. distributed all around whereas...

Candidemia is the most frequent manifestation observed with invasive candidiasis. The aim of this study was to analyse trends candidemia in a large tertiary-care hospital determine overall incidence during January 1996-December 2012, as well susceptibility 453 isolates according revised Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) breakpoints. episodes adult paediatric patients were retrospectively analysed from laboratory data Uludağ University Healthcare Research Hospital. 17-year...

Fundamental niche prediction of Cryptococcus neoformans and gattii in Europe is an important tool to understand where these pathogenic yeasts have a high probability survive the environment therefore identify areas with risk infection. In this study, occurrence data for C. were compared by MaxEnt software several bioclimatic conditions as well soil characteristics land use. The results showed that distribution can be predicted along Mediterranean coast. analysis variables its limited low...

Cryptococcosis is a common opportunistic fungal infection that often disseminates into the central nervous system, leading to meningitis. Production of melanin pigments during infections one most important virulence factors its causal agent, human pathogenic yeast Cryptococcus neoformans species complex. However, almost nothing known about patterns variation in production among clinical and environmental strains potential effects such variations on virulence. In this study, we assembled...

The incidence of nosocomial candidaemia was evaluated in a retrospective study Turkish tertiary-care hospital. Over 12-year period (1996-2007), total 743 episodes occurred patients, accounting for an average 1.9 episodes/1000 admissions and 2.9 episodes/10 000 patient-days per year. annual almost constant during the except 1996 when it significantly higher comparison with other years (P<0.05). most common species isolated Candida albicans (45%), followed by C. parapsilosis (26%), tropicalis...

In recent years, the incidence of fungal infections has been rising all over world. Although amount research in field pathogenic fungi also increased, there is still a need for studies on virulence. this investigation, we focused testing bloodstream-identified Candida albicans experimental vitro virulence assays. The proteinase enzyme activities 30 C. strains isolated from bloodstream and sterile body fluids were investigated (15 colonizations, 15 infections). spectrophotometric plate...

A total of 555 specimens from 372 patients with symptoms compatible superficial mycosis were included in this study. Those clinically diagnosed as having dermatomycosis thoroughly investigated by mycological examinations the laboratory, including microscopic studies KOH mounts and cultivation samples culture. The results study a previous our hospital conducted 1980 compared respect to clinical presentation etiological agents. Onychomycosis was most common form dermatomycoses, Trichophyton...

Abstract Background Systemic and focal infections caused by microorganisms have been known to induce or exacerbate psoriasis. Although the role of yeast species genus Malassezia in pathogenesis psoriasis is not fully understood, it thought that these lipophilic yeasts may represent a triggering factor exacerbation psoriatic lesions.

Antifungal susceptibility testing may be an important aid in the treatment of patients with life threatening yeast infections. The aim this study was to determine Candida isolates obtained from clinical specimens antifungal agents amphotericin B and fluconazole, which are frequently used our practice. Materials methods: Susceptibility investigated using Etest (AB Biodisk, Solna, Sweden) reference broth macrodilution test (CLSI M27-A2). MICs each methods were read after 24 h 48 incubation....
