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 ...

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.

Overview and perspectives on the transcriptome of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis [PDF]

Revista Iberoamericana de Micología, 2005
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is a dimorphic and thermo-regulated fungus which is the causative agent of paracoccidioidomycosis, an endemic disease widespread in Latin America that affects 10 million individuals. Pathogenicity is assumed to be a consequence of the dimorphic transition from mycelium to yeast cells during human infection.

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.

Identificación de algunos genes asociados al proceso de germinación de la conidia al micelio en Paracoccidioides brasiliensis [PDF]

, 2009
Introduction. Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is a thermo-dimorphic fungus. At room temperature it grows as a mold that produces conidia, whereas in the vertebrate host it grows as a multiple-budding yeast.

Molecular detection of Paracoccidioides in soil from an urban area of southern Brazil

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2020
INTRODUCTION: Previous studies that detected Paracoccidioides spp. DNA in soil taken from rural areas have shown this to be a valuable tool for ecological and epidemiological studies. This study reports the detection of Paracoccidioides spp. DNA in soil
