Galleria mellonella as a model invertebrate host for the study of muriform cells of dematiaceous fungi.

Future Microbiology, 2018
AIM To study the pathogenesis of chromoblastomycosis using the alternative model host Galleria mellonella. METHODOLOGY We analyzed the virulence of different dematiaceous fungal strains and the host immune responses (hemocytes density and morphological

Use of carbohydrate and nitrate assimilations in the identification of dematiaceous fungi

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 1986
A total of 61 isolates of dematiaceous fungi, including Exophiala jeanselmei, Wangiella dermatitidis, Fonsecaea pedrosoi, Phialophora verrucosa, and a few isolates of related organisms were evaluated for their ability to assimilate 13 carbohydrates and sodium nitrate.

Therapy of infections caused by dematiaceous fungi

Expert Review of Anti-infective Therapy, 2005
Dematiaceous fungi are responsible for a wide variety of clinical syndromes, from local infections due to trauma, to disseminated infection in immunocompromised patients. These fungi are unique owing to the presence of melanin in their cell walls, which imparts the characteristic dark color to their spores and hyphae.

Antimycotic therapy of experimental infections caused by dematiaceous fungi [PDF]

Medical Mycology, 1984
Experimental infections of mice with Wangiella dermatitidis and Fonsecaea pedrosoi provided a model for evaluating new antifungal agents or new combination therapy. In our models flucytosine exerted a dose-related therapeutic effect on the acute and on the more chronic infection.

Biotransformation of cycloalkenones by fungi Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of bicycloheptenone by dematiaceous fungi

Biotechnology Letters, 1990
The biotransformation by ring expansion of a bicyclo [3.2.0]-alkenone has been demonstrated in 29 species of dematiaceous fungi. One of these biocatalysts,Curvularia lunata NRRL 2380 has been shown to produce synthetically-important chiral lactones in high yields.

Studies on pathogenic dematiaceous fungi

Mycopathologia, 1986
Two hundred and twenty-six samples of woody materials, vegetable matter and soil were processed by the direct plating and mouse inoculation technique for the isolation of pathogenic dematiaceous fungi. The species of fungi isolated were Fonsecaea pedrosoi - 13, Cladosporium carrionii - 7 and Phialophora verrucosa -4 isolates.

Assessment of Quality and In Vitro Activities of Essential Oils Extracted from Some Selected Nigeria Dignifying Plants against Dematiaceous Fungi

IPS Journal of Drug Discovery Research and Reviews
Dematiaceous fungal infections are the major threat facing farmers in Nigeria, as they are challenged with deformation of keratinized parts, destruction of soft tissues, economic losses and loss of interest in Agriculture. The available antifungal agents

Comparison of methods for isolation of dematiaceous fungi from nature

Mycopathologia, 1980
Direct plating and animal inoculation techniques were compared for effectiveness in isolating dematiaceous fungi from nature. The direct plating technique involved comparison of aqueous and mineral oil extraction of the samples with subsequent plating on Mycobiotic and Sabhi agar.

Physiological Characteristics of Environmental Isolates of Pathogenic Dematiaceous Fungi

Mycoses, 1989
Summary: A total of 39 environmental isolates of pathogenic dematiaceous fungi (Fonsecaea pedrosoi: 14 isolates, Phialo‐phora verrucosa: 6, Cladosporium carrionii: 9, Exophiala jeanselmei: 2, Ramichlo‐ridium subulatum: 6, Cladosporium tenuis‐simum: 1 and Phaeoisaria clematidis: 1) were evaluated for their various physiological characteristics ...

Epidemiology, Clinical Manifestations, and Therapy of Infections Caused by Dematiaceous Fungi

Journal of Chemotherapy, 2003
The dematiaceous (brown-pigmented) fungi are a large and heterogenous group of moulds that cause a wide range of diseases including phaeohyphomycosis, chromoblastomycosis, and eumycotic mycetoma. Among the more important human pathogens are Alternaria species, Bipolaris species, Cladophialophora bantiana, Curvularia species, Exophiala species ...
