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.

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 ...

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

Innate and Adaptive Immunity to Mucorales [PDF]

Journal of Fungi, 2017
Mucormycosis is an invasive fungal infection characterised by rapid filamentous growth, which leads to angioinvasion, thrombosis, and tissue necrosis. The high mortality rates (50–100%) associated with mucormycosis are reflective of not only the aggressive nature of the infection and the poor therapeutics currently employed, but also the failure of the

Mucorales-Specific T Cells in Patients with Hematologic Malignancies. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
BACKGROUND:Invasive mucormycosis (IM) is an emerging life-threatening fungal infection. It is difficult to obtain a definite diagnosis and to initiate timely intervention.

Diagnosis of Mucormycosis: Current Situation, Challenges and Future Prospects. [PDF]

Mycoses
ABSTRACT 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

Mucorales from the semiarid of Pernambuco, Brazil [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2013
Nineteen taxa of Mucorales, belonging to Absidia, Apophysomyces, Cunninghamella, Fennellomyces, Lichtheimia, Mucor, Mycotypha, Rhizopus and Syncephalastrum were isolated from 36 composite soil samples in three semiarid areas in the State of Pernambuco (Triunfo, Cabrobó and Belém de São Francisco), Northeast Brazil, which are characterized by Caatinga ...

Cutaneous Mucormycosis Clinically Mimicking Necrotizing Fasciitis in a Patient Without Active Immunosuppression [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Cutaneous mucormycosis is a rare invasive fungal infection caused by fungi of the order Mucorales. Although it classically occurs in immunocompromised hosts, traumatic or minor cutaneous inoculation may result in infection even in patients without active immunosuppression.

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 ...

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 ...
