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 ...

Mucorales Species and Macrophages [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2020 Mucormycosis is an emerging fungal infection caused by Mucorales with an unacceptable high mortality rate. Mucorales is a complex fungal group, including eleven different genera that can infect humans.

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

Clinical performance of metagenomic next-generation sequencing for distinction and diagnosis of Mucorales infection and colonization [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection MicrobiologyMucormycosis 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 ...

Antifungal-resistant Mucorales in different indoor environments
Mycology, 2019 This paper sought to address the prevalence of Mucorales in different indoor environments in Portugal. Environmental samples (183 in total) were collected at dwellings (n = 79) and workplaces (bakeries, swine farms, taxis, waste-sorting plants) (n = 93 ...

Diagnosis of Mucormycosis: Current Situation, Challenges and Future Prospects. [PDF]
MycosesABSTRACT Mucormycosis, an aggressive fungal infection caused by members of the order Mucorales, progresses rapidly and is associated with high mortality, particularly in immunocompromised hosts such as patients with uncontrolled diabetes, transplant recipients or those with COVID‐19‐associated immunosuppression. Early diagnosis remains challenging with

Journal of Fungi (Basel, Switzerland), 2019 More than 20 different species of Mucorales can be responsible for human mucormycosis. Accurate identification to the species level is important. The morphological identification of Mucorales is not reliable, and the currently recommended identification ...

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.

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 ...
