An Update on Invasive Fungal Infections in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients
ABSTRACT Invasive fungal infections (IFI) remain a significant infection‐related complication in solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs), the incidence of which has not changed overtime. With a focus on studies and data published after 2019, this narrative review provides an update on the epidemiology and prevention of IFIs in SOTRs and highlights ...

Candida parapsilosis as a Causative Agent of Onychomycosis in Patient with Cirrhosis of the Liver
We report the first case of non-dermatophytic onychomycosis of the toenail described in Kazakhstan caused by Candida parapsilosis. The biological properties of the strain were studied. C.

Edulitin 2 is a ribotoxin‐like protein exhibiting a potent antiproliferative activity towards Caco‐2 and HT29 cells by programmed cell death. However, edulitin 2 does not affect gut microbiota growth, despite damaging fungal ribosomes. ABSTRACT Porcini (Boletus edulis Bull.) are a reservoir of pharmacological biomolecules with health‐promoting ...

Extracts of Hormophysa triquetra showed antifungal activity with marked hyphal deformities in Fusarium oxysporum and Alternaria alternata. Light microscopy and SEM confirmed structural alterations despite unchanged radial growth. Cucumber assays validated reduced disease incidence, linked to fatty‐acid–rich metabolites detected by GC–MS.
