Molecular Characterisation of Fungi Populations in the Chronic Wounds of Filarial Lymphedema Patients in Southern Ghana: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Lymphatic filariasis (LF) and associated chronic wounds are of public health concern worldwide. Despite the significant burden of lymphatic filariasis (LF) and its associated chronic wounds, the fungal component of the wound microbiome remains poorly understood. Previous research has primarily focused on bacterial pathogens,

Characterization of biofilms formed by Candida parapsilosis, C. metapsilosis, and C. orthopsilosis

International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2010
Infections due to Candida parapsilosis have been associated with the ability of this fungus to form biofilms on indwelling medical devices. Recently, C. parapsilosis isolates were reclassified into 3 genetically non-identical classes: C. parapsilosis, C. orthopsilosis, and C. metapsilosis.

Clinical and pathological features of two cases of erythematous‐ceruminous otitis externa associated with Candida spp. infection in dogs

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 2, June 2025.
Abstract Erythematous‐ceruminous otitis externa is a common presentation of otitis externa in dogs and is usually associated with Malassezia or bacterial overgrowth. This report aims to describe two cases of unilateral erythematous‐ceruminous otitis externa associated with Candida spp. infection. A 2‐year‐old goldendoodle (Case 1) and a 4‐year‐old Jack

Comparison of four molecular approaches to identify Candida parapsilosis complex species

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz
Since the description of Candida orthopsilosis and C. metapsilosis in 2005, several methods have been proposed to identify and differentiate these species from C. parapsilosis sensu stricto.

The largest reservoir of mitochondrial introns is a relic of an ancestral split gene [PDF]

, 2010
In eukaryotes, introns are located in nuclear and organelle genes from several kingdoms (ref. 1-4). Large introns (0.1 to 5 kbp) are frequent in mitochondrial genomes of plant and fungi (ref.

Prospective Multicenter Study of the Epidemiology, Molecular Identification, and Antifungal Susceptibility of Candida parapsilosis, Candida orthopsilosis, and Candida metapsilosis Isolated from Patients with Candidemia [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2011
ABSTRACT A 13-month prospective multicenter study including 44 hospitals was carried out to evaluate the epidemiology of Candida parapsilosis complex candidemia in Spain. Susceptibility to amphotericin B, flucytosine, fluconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, posaconazole, anidulafungin, caspofungin, and ...

Epidemiology of Candidemia, Candiduria and Emerging Candidozyma (Candida) auris Across Gulf Cooperative Council Countries and Yemen in the Arabian Peninsula

Mycoses, Volume 68, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Candida infections represent a major component of invasive and non‐invasive mycoses globally, including the countries in the Arabian Peninsula. In this review, we present epidemiological features and trends, clinical manifestations, species distribution, antifungal susceptibility, and outcomes available for candidemia and candiduria in six ...

Lichen and Its Microbiome as an Untapped Source of Anti‐Biofilm Compounds

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 22, Issue 4, April 17, 2025.
Lichens and their associated fungi give rise to the evaluation of several extracts and compounds against biofilms. ABSTRACT Lichen substances have been first described in the 1870s, and around 10 000 compounds have been isolated and characterized. Most of them have been evaluated for their activity on planktonic microorganisms (bacteria and fungi ...
