Differential distribution patterns of Fonsecaea agents of chromoblastomycosis, exemplified by the first case due to F. monophora from Argentina

Medical Mycology Case Reports, 2018
Chromoblastomycosis is a mutilating infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissues caused by melanized fungi belonging to the order Chaetothyriales. Proven cases of the main agent, Fonsecaea pedrosoi are mainly limited to (sub)tropical, humid climates of

Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of Fonsecaea pedrosoi strains isolated from patients with chromoblastomycosis

, 2019
A cromoblastomicose é uma infecção subcutânea causada por fungos demácios, como a Fonsecaea pedrosoi. O pleomorfismo e a similaridade entre gêneros e espécies, ocorrências características dessa classe de fungos, podem interferir na identificação ...

A screening of the MMV Pathogen Box® reveals new potential antifungal drugs against the etiologic agents of chromoblastomycosis.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Chromoblastomycosis (CBM) is a chronic subcutaneous mycosis caused by traumatic implantation of many species of black fungi. Due to the refractoriness of some cases and common recurrence of CBM, a more effective and less time-consuming treatment is ...

A Novel Hyphal Suspension Approach for MIC Testing of Mould Fungi

Mycoses, Volume 69, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Filamentous fungi cause a wide range of superficial and invasive infections, and antifungal susceptibility assay is essential for guiding effective therapy. Standard broth microdilution methods rely on microconidia‐based inocula; however, many clinically important moulds produce insufficient microconidia due to intrinsic ...

Rapid and Simple Detection of Trichosporon asahii by Optimized Colony PCR

BioMed Research International, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Trichosporon asahii is the major pathogen causing invasive trichosporonosis. Conventional methods of its detection are time‐consuming or costly and often require complex DNA extraction and purification steps, which hinders rapid clinical diagnosis. In this study, we evaluated colony PCR, which directly uses colonies or trace clinical samples as the ...

A case of chromoblastomycosis caused by Fonsecaea pedrosoi: challenge in diagnosis

Bali Medical Journal, 2023
Link of Video Abstract: https://youtu.be/9CxOCuDn4f4   Background: Chromoblastomycosis (CBM) is a chronic, granulomatous mycosis of the skin and subcutaneous tissue produced by the traumatic inoculation of various dematiaceous fungi. CBM lesions are clinically polymorphic and often misdiagnosed as multiple infectious and noninfectious diseases.

Advanced Fungal Control With Metallic Nanoparticles: A Comprehensive Review of Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) for Particle Concentration Characterization

ChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 12, 26 March 2026.
Metallic nanoparticles are emerging as potent antifungal agents, yet their efficacy is rarely quantified on a particle basis. Here, we demonstrate how nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), together with a newly proposed Particle Efficiency Index (PEI), can relate nanoparticle concentration to fungal inoculum load, enabling more rigorous and comparable ...

Paracoccidioides Spp.: Virulence Factors and Immune‐Evasion Strategies

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
Paracoccidioides spp. are dimorphic fungal pathogens responsible for one of the most relevant systemic mycoses in Latin America, paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM). Their exact ecological niche remains unknown; however, they have been isolated from soil samples and armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus), which have been proposed as animal reservoir for these ...

Antimicrobial Properties of Plant Essential Oils against Human Pathogens and Their Mode of Action: An Updated Review

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
A wide range of medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) have been explored for their essential oils in the past few decades. Essential oils are complex volatile compounds, synthesized naturally in different plant parts during the process of secondary metabolism.

Fonsecaeapedrosoi Conidia and Hyphae Activate Neutrophils Distinctly: Requirement of TLR-2 and TLR-4 in Neutrophil Effector Functions

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic and progressive subcutaneous mycosis caused mainly by the fungus Fonsecaea pedrosoi. The infection is characterized by erythematous papules and histological sections demonstrating an external layer of fibrous tissue and ...
