International Journal of Advances in Medicine, 2017 Background: Fungal peritonitis is a rare but serious complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD). Dimorphic fungi are described in peritonitis at a much lower percentage than yeasts are, but their involvement in it is growing.Methods: The study was based on

Defining virulence genes in the dimorphic fungi.
Annual Review of Microbiology, 2006Most dimorphic fungal pathogens cause respiratory disease in mammals and must therefore possess virulence mechanisms to combat and overcome host pulmonary defenses. Over the past decade, advances in genetic tools have made it possible to investigate the basis of dimorphic fungal pathogenesis at the molecular level. Gene disruptions and RNA interference

Protective antibodies and endemic dimorphic fungi.
Current Molecular Medicine, 2005The host response to infection is the outcome of a complex interaction between a microbe and a host's innate and adaptive immune system. In this context, the role of antibody in the endemic mycoses is relatively poorly understood. Recently, a monoclonal antibody to a cell surface protein has been shown to be protective in a murine histoplasmosis model.

The polyamine contents of the yeast and mycelial forms of seven dimorphic fungi were examined to determine if a relationship existed between polyamine composition and fungal morphology. Although the polyamine contents differed, no consistent patterns emerged.

The morphogenesis of the parasitic forms of dimorphic fungi
Mycopathologia et Mycologia Applicata, 1962Specific consideration has been given in this review to the sequence of morphologic events which characterize the transformation of dimorphic pathogenic fungi from the saprophytic to the parasitic phase of growth. Three general mechanisms of conversion have been described for those dimorphic fungi which exist in the tissues of a host as blastospores:

Global Control of Dimorphism and Virulence in Fungi
Science, 2006Microbial pathogens that normally inhabit our environment can adapt to thrive inside mammalian hosts. There are six dimorphic fungi that cause disease worldwide, which switch from nonpathogenic molds in soil to pathogenic yeast after spores are inhaled and exposed to elevated temperature. Mechanisms that regulate this switch remain obscure.

Infections Due to the Dimorphic Fungi
1996The thermally dimorphic fungi grow as molds in the natural environment or in the laboratory at 25–30°C, and as yeasts or spherules in tissue or when incubated on enriched media at 37 °C. They include the agents of the endemic systemic mycoses prevalent in the Western Hemisphere, i.e., Coccidioides immitis, Histoplasma capsulatum, Blastomyces ...

Abstract Endemic dimorphic infections are acquired by inhalation of fungal spores which undergo a thermal transition to a yeast-like phase in the host. The causative organisms are geographically restricted and are isolated from the environment; likewise, the infections are associated with people living in, or visiting, these endemic ...

Epidemiology of Dimorphic Fungi
, 2016Dimorphic fungi are organisms that have the ability to switch between two morphologies during their lifecycle: yeast and hyphae. In thermal-dimorphic fungi, morphologic changes are induced by temperature.

On the cell walls of dimorphic fungi causing systemic infections.
Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 1954Cultures of the mycelial and tissue-like growth phases of Blastomyces dermatitidis, Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, Histoplasma capsulatum, and Sporotrichum Schenckii were extracted and oxidized as described by Scholl in 1908. Debye–Scherrer diagrams of the so prepared cell walls show the presence of chitin in both growth phases of each fungus ...
