Clinical performance of metagenomic next-generation sequencing for distinction and diagnosis of Mucorales infection and colonization [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Mucormycosis is a lethal fungal infection disease with high mortality rate. However, investigations assessing the value of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) for distinguishing Mucorales infection from colonization are currently insufficient ...

Accuracy of plasma cell-free DNA PCR for non-invasive diagnosis of mucormycosis [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology
Diagnosis of mucormycosis poses a substantial challenge due to the lack of a non-invasive biomarker and limitations of conventional diagnostics using invasive specimens.

Antifungal activity of Taurolidine against Mucorales: An in vitro study on clinical isolates [PDF]

Current Medical Mycology, 2022
Background and Purpose: Taurolidine is active against a wide variety of micro organisms, including bacteria and fungi. Mucormycosis is one of the life-threatening opportunistic fungal infections, especially in immunocompromised patients.

Blood Mucorales PCR to track down Aspergillus and Mucorales co-infections in at-risk hematology patients: A case-control study

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
IntroductionSerum Mucorales PCR can precede the final diagnosis of invasive mucormycosis by several days or weeks and could therefore be useful as a non-invasive screening tool.MethodsWe assessed the performance of a commercial Mucorales PCR assay ...

Taking a Closer Look: Clinical and Histopathological Characteristics of Culture-Positive versus Culture-Negative Pulmonary Mucormycosis

Journal of Fungi, 2022
The cultural recovery of Mucorales from hyphae-laden tissue is poor, and the clinical implications of culture positivity are scarcely studied. Therefore, we compared clinical and histopathological characteristics of culture-positive and culture-negative ...

Two New Species in the Family Cunninghamellaceae from China

Mycobiology, 2021
The species within the family Cunninghamellaceae are widely distributed and produce important metabolites. Morphological studies along with a molecular phylogeny based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and large subunit (LSU) of ribosomal DNA ...

Detection and identification of Mucorales and Aspergillus in paraffin-embedded samples by real-time quantitative PCR

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
BackgroundIn this study, we used real-time quantitative PCR (RQ-PCR) to rapidly detect Mucorales and Aspergillus in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples, targeting 18SrRNA gene and 28SrRNA gene. Identification of Mucorales and Aspergillus was

High-Temperature-Tolerant Fungus and Oomycetes in Korea, Including Saksenaea longicolla sp. nov.

Mycobiology, 2021
Global temperatures are steadily increasing, leading to significant changes in microbial diversity and ecology. In the present study, we isolated high-temperature-growing fungi and fungi-like group (Oomycota) strains from freshwater environments of Korea

Mucormycosis and acute kidney injury [PDF]

Journal of Nephropathology, 2012
Mucormycosis, although said to be less common than candidiasis and aspergillosis is becoming increasingly associated with many co-morbid conditions and immunosuppression.
