Torulopsis glabrata in the Neonate: An Emerging Fungal Pathogen

Southern Medical Journal, 1993
Fungi are becoming increasingly common nosocomial pathogens in the neonatal intensive care patient. The fungus Torulopsis glabrata, a common skin inhabitant, is a potential pathogen in the high-risk neonate. In this report we have reviewed the cases of two infants in which systemic T glabrata infection was diagnosed.

Emergence of traits in human fungal pathogens

Trends in Microbiology
Invasive human fungal pathogens cause significant morbidity and mortality. Both environmental and host factors have driven the evolution of key traits, such as pathogenicity and drug resistance. This has led to the emergence and spread of novel pathogens and drug-resistant variants, posing a substantial threat to public health.

Emerging roles of SWI/SNF remodelers in fungal pathogens

Current Genetics, 2022
Fungal pathogens constantly sense and respond to the environment they inhabit, and this interaction is vital for their survival inside hosts and exhibiting pathogenic traits. Since such responses often entail specific patterns of gene expression, regulators of chromatin structure contribute to the fitness and virulence of the pathogens by modulating ...

Bat White-Nose Syndrome: An Emerging Fungal Pathogen?

Science, 2009
White-nose syndrome (WNS) is a condition associated with an unprecedented bat mortality event in the northeastern United States. Since the winter of 2006*2007, bat declines exceeding 75% have been observed at surveyed hibernacula. Affected bats often present with visually striking white fungal growth on their muzzles, ears, and/or wing membranes ...

Fusarium and Scedosporium: Emerging Fungal Pathogens

2007
Fusarium spp. and Scedosporium spp. have emerged as important fungal pathogens during the last decades causing significant morbidity and mortality especially in immunocompromised patients. The two fungal genera possess several biological and clinical characteristics in common, most notably the very high mortality of the diseases caused by them, and ...

[Newly emerging fungal pathogens].

Epidemiologie, mikrobiologie, imunologie : casopis Spolecnosti pro epidemiologii a mikrobiologii Ceske lekarske spolecnosti J.E. Purkyne, 1997
Candida albicans was once considered the only important fungus species associated with human infection. Modern medical therapy and improved methods for detection and differentiation of fungi have now shown that many other species are clinically important.

New Aspects of Emerging Fungal Pathogens: A Multifaceted Challenge

Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 1995
This article describes adventitious morphologic forms for species of Fusarium, Paecilomyces, Acremonium, and Scedosporium that can be easily mistaken on histologic, cytologic, and microbiologic examination for Candida species. These forms appear to be correlated with, and may provide explanation for, positive blood cultures in disseminated infections ...

An Emerging Fungal Pathogen: Trichophyton Indotineae

Canadian Dermatology Today
Dermatophytoses are common fungal infections of the skin and other keratinized structures such as hair and nails. These infections, caused by the dermatophyte fungi, affect approximately 25% of people worldwide. Dermatophyte fungi include species from three genera: Trichophyton, Epidermophyton, and Microsporum, and may be categorized as anthropophilic,
