Stewardship of Molecular Diagnostics in Transplant Viral Infections

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transplant environment requires special considerations when testing for viral infections as immunosuppression results in atypical infection profiles. Microbes otherwise considered commensals or causing mild disease can lead to severe infections in transplant environments. Therefore, guidelines tend to recommend broader microbial testing in

Induction of Broad-Spectrum Protective Immunity against Disparate Cryptococcus Serotypes

Frontiers in Immunology, 2017
Cryptococcosis is a fungal disease caused by multiple Cryptococcus serotypes; particularly C. neoformans (serotypes A and D) and C. gattii (serotypes B and C). To date, there is no clinically available vaccine to prevent cryptococcosis.

Activity Against Pythium insidiosum and Isolated Constituents of Cordia insignis Roots

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study investigates the roots of Cordia insignis in search of novel treatments for pythiosis, caused by the oomycete Pythium insidiosum. Seven compounds are isolated, including steroids, a saponin, a coumarin, a fatty acid, and a glycoside, the latter two are reported for the first time in the genus.

Characterization, Antimicrobial, and Antiproliferative Activities of Silver Nanoparticles Biosynthesized Using Terminalia phanerophlebia Engl. & Diels

Cell Biochemistry and Function, Volume 44, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The application of nanoparticles (NPs) as therapeutic strategies for treating microbial infections and cancer is gaining attention due to their physicochemical properties. In this study, we synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from the aqueous extract of the roots and leaves of Terminalia phanerophlebia.

Ultrastructure of Cryptococcus neoformans

Acta Dermato-Venereologica, 1982
The ultrastructure of C. neoformans was studied in two cases of cutaneous cryptococcosis. Extracellular and intracellular fungi were observed. Their capsules and clear zones were thick and distinct, but their cytoplasmic organelles were not obvious. In macrophages, a few stages of fungal degeneration could be observed.
