Cladophialophora bantiana: a rare cause of fungal brain abscess. Clinical aspects and new therapeutic options [PDF]
Black molds or dematiaceous fungi are rare etiologic agents of intracerebral abscesses and such infections carry a high mortality of up to 70% despite combined surgical and antifungal therapy.

Femoral Osteomyelitis due to Cladophialophora arxii in a Patient with Chronic Granulomatous Disease [PDF]
Fungal infections in patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) are a poor prognostic factor. We describe the first case of CGD with femoral osteomyelitis due to Cladophialophora arxii, which is a member of the dematiaceous group.

Antifungal Resistance and New Strategies to Control Fungal Infections
Despite improvement of antifungal therapies over the last 30 years, the phenomenon of antifungal resistance is still of major concern in clinical practice. In the last 10 years the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon were extensively unraveled. In this paper, after a brief overview of currently available antifungals, molecular mechanisms of

The origin of human pathogenicity and biological interactions in Chaetothyriales [PDF]
Fungi in the order Chaetothyriales are renowned for their ability to cause human infections. Nevertheless, they are not regarded as primary pathogens, but rather as opportunists with a natural habitat in the environment.

Cladophialophora bantiana [PDF]
Cladophialophora bantiana is one of the few neurotropic fungi which causes CNS infections in immunocompetant hosts. Cerebral phaeohyphomycosis caused by this fungus is one of the most difficult conditions to treat due to its poor prognosis and difficulty

Revealing the Diversity of the Mycobiome in Different Phases of Ticks: ITS Gene‐Based Analysis
Ticks are obligate ectoparasites and vectors of a variety of pathogens in humans and animals. Certain tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) have been identified as the cause of zoonoses, posing potentially significant threats to the human health and livestock industries. Fungi are one of the major TBPs that can affect ticks and cause disease in humans.

Xylohypha bantiana Multiple Brain Abscesses in a Patient with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Xylohypha bantiana is a rare cause of cerebral fungal infection (phaeohyphomycosis). We report on a 72‐year‐old man who, while taking several immunosuppressive medications for systemic lupus erythematosus, presented with multiple bilateral cerebral abscesses caused by X bantiana.
