Isoenzyme profile ofParacoccidioides brasiliensis
Medical Mycology, 1995Isoenzyme 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.

Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, Paracoccidioidomycosis, and Antifungal Antibiotics
Current Drug Target -Infectious Disorders, 2005Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is the causative agent of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), a human systemic, chronic and progressive mycosis. Preferred antifungals are sulfamethoxazol-trimethoprim, itraconazole, amphotericin B. Treatment is lengthy, the drugs may have undesirable side effects, and some are costly.

Blastomyces (Paracoccidioides) brasiliensis in Africa
Nature, 1964SINCE the discovery of “South American Blastomycosis” by Adolfo Lutz in 1908, it has been generally accepted that the disease is confined to South America. The few cases reported outside this region are of patients who lived for years in South American countries and probably contracted the “Lutz disease” there1–8.

Cytosolic Neutral Proteinases of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis
Current Microbiology, 1998Cytosolic proteinases were assayed in both morphological phases of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. Preparations from the mycelial phase were more active in vitro than those from the yeast cells. Optimal proteinase activities for both phases occurred at pH's between 6.0 and 9.0, and at 45 degrees C.

Characteristics of Environmental Paracoccidioides brasiliensis Isolates
Mycopathologia, 2009The ecological niche or exact habitat of the fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is not known, and few isolates have been obtained from the environment. In this study, ten isolates were analyzed with respect to antigenic composition, serology, pathogenicity, and molecular aspects.

MiRNAs regulate iron homeostasis in Paracoccidioides brasiliensis
Microbes and Infection, 2021During pathogen interaction with the host, several mechanisms are used to favor or inhibit the infectious process; one is called nutritional immunity, characterized by restriction of micronutrients to pathogens. Several studies on fungi of the Paracoccidioides complex, have demonstrated that these pathogens remodel their metabolic pathways to overcome ...

Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is found only in Latin America. It is endemic in Mexico, Central America, and South America. Most cases (80%) have been reported from Brazil, followed by Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, and Argentina. Most cases occur in tropical and subtropical forests, where temperatures are mild and humidity is high ...

Paracoccidioides brasiliensis – the man-hater
Mycologist, 2002Some fungi are found only in specific geographical regions. The human pathogen Paracoccidioides brasiliensis has only rarely been isolated in nature and incidences of infections are restricted to Central and Southern America. Most commonly infected individuals are not urban dwellers, but rather farmers and people living in mountainous areas.

Morphogenesis in Paracoccidioides brasiliensis
2011Paracoccidioidomycosis (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.
