The Significance of Mono‐ and Dual‐Effective Agents in the Development of New Antifungal Strategies
The future of treating challenging fungal infections lies in novel therapies targeting new antifungal targets, overcoming resistance mechanisms, and exploring innovative dual inhibitors. ABSTRACT Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) pose significant challenges in clinical settings, particularly due to their high morbidity and mortality rates.

Phaeohyphomycosis caused by Trematosphaeria grisea in an immunocompromised English springer spaniel
Abstract A 10‐year‐old, male, farm‐based springer spaniel that presented with subacute progressive left‐sided central vestibular signs was diagnosed with meningoencephalitis of unknown origin. The patient received prednisolone (2 mg/kg/day orally), ciclosporin (5 mg/kg orally twice a day) and a single infusion of cytarabine (200 mg/m2). Six weeks later,

Reverse line blot hybridization assay for identification of medically important fungi from culture and clinical specimens [PDF]
We evaluated a combined panfungal PCR-reverse line blot (RLB) hybridization assay based on internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) and ITS2 region polymorphisms to identify 159 Candida, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Aspergillus isolates (22 species).

Photokatalytische CO2 Reduktion mit CO2‐bindenden Enzymen
Es wird eine neue, vielseitige Aktivität der Phenolsäure‐Decarboxylase aus Bacillus subtilis und anderer CO2‐bindender Enzyme beschrieben. Die Enzyme katalysieren die photokatalytische CO2‐Reduktion in Gegenwart eines Ru(bpy)3‐Photosensibilisators, wobei sie eine hohe Selektivität für die CO2‐Reduktion gegenüber der Protonenreduktion (bis zu 93 ...

Photocatalytic CO2 Reduction Using CO2‐Binding Enzymes
A novel promiscuous activity of the phenolic acid decarboxylase from Bacillus subtilis and other CO2‐binding enzymes is described. The enzymes catalyze the photocatalytic CO2 reduction in the presence of a Ru(bpy)3 photosensitizer, exhibiting high selectivity for CO2 reduction over proton reduction (up to 93 %).

Background. Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a heterogeneous group of medical conditions that commonly occur in underprivileged populations. NTDs are primarily diagnosed in tropical areas. Although South Africa is not situated in a tropical region, the high poverty rate makes the country susceptible to some NTDs. Limited data are available on the
