The Spectrum and Aetiology of Mycotic Infections from a Tertiary Care Hospital from Western Part of India [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2013
Background: In the past few years, there has been an increase in infections caused by fungal aetiology. This is mainly due to increase in sizes of populations which are at risk. Also, fungi which were previously considered as non-pathogenic have been

The Zinc Finger Transcription Factor Fts2 Represses the Yeast-to-Filament Transition in the Dimorphic Yeast Yarrowia lipolytica

mSphere, 2022
The yeast-to-filament transition is an important cellular response to environmental stimulations in dimorphic fungi. In addition to activators, there are repressors in the cells to prevent filament formation, which is important to keep the cells in the ...

Cost-Effective Method for Identification of Dimorphic Fungi [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2004
ABSTRACT Traditional methods to identify dimorphic fungi dictate that the mold be converted to the yeast phase at 35 to 37°C. We present a time- and cost-saving method of confirming the identification of a dimorph by using special stains to demonstrate the yeast phase directly growing in the original clinical specimens.

Fungal Dimorphism and Virulence: Molecular Mechanisms for Temperature Adaptation, Immune Evasion, and In Vivo Survival

Mediators of Inflammation, 2017
The thermally dimorphic fungi are a unique group of fungi within the Ascomycota phylum that respond to shifts in temperature by converting between hyphae (22–25°C) and yeast (37°C).

A Moldy Application of MALDI: MALDI-ToF Mass Spectrometry for Fungal Identification

Journal of Fungi, 2019
As a result of its being inexpensive, easy to perform, fast and accurate, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-ToF MS) is quickly becoming the standard means of bacterial identification from cultures in ...

Concomitant fungal and Mycobacterium bovis infections in beef cattle in Kenya

Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 2013
Bovine tuberculosis is an important zoonosis and accurate diagnosis is important for its surveillance. Post-mortem diagnosis may, however, be compromised by lesions caused by other pathogens.

Interaction of Talaromyces marneffei with free living soil amoeba as a model of fungal pathogenesis

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Talaromyces (Penicillium) marneffei is an important dimorphic mycosis endemic in Southeast Asia and Southern China, but the origin and maintenance of virulence traits in this organism remains obscure.
