Bronchoscopy in the diagnosis of pulmonary blastomycosis

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2020
Objectives: Diagnosing pulmonary blastomycosis (PB) requires the detection of Blastomyces dermatitidis in pulmonary secretions or tissue, which can be achieved via bronchoscopic procedures like bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) or brush and transbronchial ...

Breathing can be dangerous: Opportunistic fungal pathogens and the diverse community of the small mammal lung mycobiome

Frontiers in Fungal Biology, 2022
Human lung mycobiome studies typically sample bronchoalveolar lavage or sputum, potentially overlooking fungi embedded in tissues. Employing ultra-frozen lung tissues from biorepositories, we obtained fungal ribosomal RNA ITS2 sequences from 199 small ...

Antifungal Resistance and Synergistic Therapy in Candida Spp. Isolated From Bottlenose Dolphins Under Human Care: Implications for One Health Management

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 6, November 2025.
Candida spp. isolated from bottlenose dolphins under human care showed multirug resistance to common azoles. In vitro synergy testing revealed that certain antifungal combinations improved efficacy against resistant strains. Environmental monitoring using FISH detected Candida spp.

Immunity Switches and Macrophage Manipulations: Trauma, Ovulation, and Depression as Latent Tuberculosis Reactivation Risks

American Journal of Human Biology, Volume 37, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Inflammation is the immune system's natural response to initial tuberculosis infection. Tuberculosis bacteria have gained adaptations to manipulate the inflammatory process, sometimes settling into latency and containment in granulomas, ensuring their survival.
