The origin and emergence of resistance to antifungal compounds are evaluated and potential “hot spots” identified for major life‐theatening fungal human pathogens in medical and environmental settings. Abstract Fungal propagules existing in the natural environment can easily be transmitted to the human body, mostly by inhalation of contaminated air or ...

Acupuncture‐Associated Mycobacterium massiliense and Scedosporium Infections Superimposed by Tetanus
Background. Tetanus has rarely been reported in Thailand since 1982 due to 100% tetanus vaccination coverage during the neonatal period of life. However, the reemergence of tetanus has been observed in our country during the past decade, mainly due to the increasing number of migrants traveling from neighboring countries in search of work.

Bis(N‐picolinamide)cobalt(II) complexes containing trans isothiocyanate ligands are reported to have significantly enhanced activity toward fungal species, when compared the cis complexes. They display >80 % growth inhibition of fungal strains and no reported toxicity toward bacterial species or mammalian cells.

Proposed nomenclature for Pseudallescheria, Scedosporium and related genera [PDF]
As a result of fundamental changes in the International Code of Nomenclature on the use of separate names for sexual and asexual stages of fungi, generic names of many groups should be reconsidered.

Formicamycins, antibacterial polyketides produced by Streptomyces formicae isolated from African Tetraponera plant-ants [PDF]
We report a new Streptomyces species named S. formicae that was isolated from the African fungus -growing plant-ant Tetraponera penzigi and show that it produces novel pentacyclic polyketides that are active against MRSA and VRE. The chemical scaffold of
