The pathobiology of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis [PDF]

open access: possibleTrends in Microbiology, 2002
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis causes one of the most prevalent systemic mycoses in Latin America--paracoccidioidomycosis. It is a dimorphic fungus that undergoes a complex transformation in vivo, with mycelia in the environment producing conidia, which probably act as infectious propagules upon inhalation into the lungs, where they transform to the ...

Paracoccidioides and Paracoccidioidomycosis in the 21st Century

Mycopathologia, 2023
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) defines a broad spectrum of human and animal diseases caused by Paracoccidioides species (Onygenales). In the twenty-first century, Paracoccidioides advanced from a monotypic taxon to a genus that harbors seven species, including P. brasiliensis sensu stricto, P. americana, P. restrepiensis, P. venezuelensis, P.

Paracoccidioidal Granulomatosis of the Brain

Archives of Neurology, 1983
A patient with South American blastomycosis (paracoccidioidomycosis) was studied using computed tomography (CT), which showed six granulomas in the brain. The patient was treated with amphotericin B and observed by repeated CT scans. Two of the lesions disappeared completely after the first cycle of treatment, and residual images, probably representing

Ornithine decarboxylase in Paracoccidioides brasiliensis

Archives of Microbiology, 1996
Ornithine decarboxylase in Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, a dimorphic human pathogenic fungus, was more active at 37 degrees C in the yeast phase and at 30 degrees C in the mycelial phase. In contrast to other fungal systems, yeast growth and mycelium-to-yeast transition in P.

Aleuriospores of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis

Mycopathologia, 1971
In soil extract agar and in Bennett medium abundant aleuriospores ofParacoccidioides brasiliensis have been observed. The possibility that these spores could be the infecting elements for man is discussed.

Morphogenesis in Paracoccidioides brasiliensis [PDF]

open access: possible, 2011
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a deep systemic mycosis originally described in 1908 caused by the ascomycete Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, a thermodimorphic fungal pathogen. The disease is autochthonous to Latin America and areas of higher incidence occur in countries such as Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, and Venezuela.

The Role of Chlamydospores of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis

Nippon Ishinkin Gakkai Zasshi, 2003
The role of chlamydospores in the conversion process from a mycelial-to-yeast form using the slide culture method was studied. Three clinical isolates and two other isolates from armadillo, belonging to the fungal species Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, were cultured on Sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA), potato dextrose agar (PDA) and brain heart infusion ...

Isoenzyme profile ofParacoccidioides brasiliensis

Medical Mycology, 1995
Isoenzyme profiles of 10 strains of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis from different origins (nine strains from patients with different clinical forms of paracoccidioidomycosis and one from the faeces of a penguin) were determined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis using 37 different enzymes.

Production of proteinase and phospholipase by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis

Mycopathologia, 1999
We have investigated the production of proteinase and phospholipase by 20 different isolates of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. Isolates were grown in Bacto-peptone, Dextrose, pH 5.5, agar slants, at 27 degrees C for 30 days, and cultures were transferred onto Petri dishes containing basis medium and bovine serum albumin fraction V and sterile egg yolk ...
