Paracoccidioides restrepiensis has undergone a severe population bottleneck

Revista de la Academia Colombiana de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales, 2022
Genus Paracoccidioides now encompasses five species, P. lutzii, P. brasiliensis sensu stricto, P. americana, P. venezuelensis, and P. restrepiensis. All the paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) cases reported in Colombia have been classified as P. restrepiensis,

Innate immunity to Paracoccidioides brasiliensis infection [PDF]

Mycopathologia, 2008
Innate immunity is based in pre-existing elements of the immune system that directly interact with all types of microbes leading to their destruction or growth inhibition. Several elements of this early defense mechanism act in concert to control initial pathogen growth and have profound effect on the adaptative immune response that further develops ...

Validation and clinical application of a nested PCR for paracoccidioidomycosis diagnosis in clinical samples from Colombian patients

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2015
Paracoccidioidomycosis is a systemic and endemic mycosis, restricted to tropical and subtropical areas of Latin America. The infection is caused by the thermal dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and Paracoccidioides lutzii.

Molecular detection and identification of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1997
Nearly 800 nucleotides from the 5' terminus of the 28S ribosomal gene of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis were sequenced, and a 14-base DNA probe specific for this species was identified. Hybridization results showed that the probe identified P. brasiliensis ribosomal DNA in a panel of ribosomal DNAs representing a total of 48 species of fungi.

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 ...

Paracoccidioides brasiliensis: phylogenetic and ecological aspects [PDF]

Mycopathologia, 2008
The knowledge on the biological aspects of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis has evolved greatly since the first description of the disease in 1908. From the pioneers, who were able to clearly demonstrate the fungal nature of the agent, to the recent genomic era, important advances have been achieved. P.

Resultado tardio da infecção isolada no quadril por Paracoccidioides brasiliensis Late outcome of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis isolated infection on the hip

Acta Ortopédica Brasileira, 2006
Infecções causadas pelo Paracoccidioides brasiliensis são sempre um desafio diagnostico mesmo em áreas endêmicas, devidas as suas múltiplas apresentações clinicas e órgãos envolvidos.

Identification and characterization of Tc1/mariner-like DNA transposons in genomes of the pathogenic fungi of the Paracoccidioides species complex

BMC Genomics, 2010
Background Paracoccidioides brasiliensis (Eukaryota, Fungi, Ascomycota) is a thermodimorphic fungus, the etiological agent of paracoccidioidomycosis, the most important systemic mycoses in Latin America.

Galectin-3 Inhibits Paracoccidioides brasiliensis Growth and Impacts Paracoccidioidomycosis through Multiple Mechanisms

mSphere, 2019
The thermodimorphic pathogenic fungi Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and Paracoccidioides lutzii are the etiologic causes of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), the most prevalent systemic mycosis in Latin America.

Paracoccidioides brasiliensis interferes on dendritic cells maturation by inhibiting PGE2 production. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic mycosis, endemic in most Latin American countries, especially in Brazil, whose etiologic agent is the thermodimorphic fungus of the genus Paracoccidioides, comprising cryptic species of Paracoccidioides ...
