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 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 ...

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 ...

An unusual case of mediastinal mass due toFonsecaea pedrosoi [PDF]
European Respiratory Journal, 2006 Phaeohyphomycosis is a disease caused by dematiaceous fungi. Here, the first culture-proven case of mediastinal mass due toFonsecaea pedrosoiis reported.The patient was a 40-yr-old male who had presented with history of dyspnoea and dysphagia.Computed tomography of the chest disclosed a mediastinal mass.

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 ...
