Primers for Clinical Detection of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2005
ABSTRACT From a 0.72-kb fragment universally generated in Paracoccidioides brasiliensis strains, primers were designed and tested on genomic DNA of this and other pathogenic fungi. They were specific and highly sensitive for P. brasiliensis DNA.

Climate Change, Natural Disasters, and Cutaneous Fungal Infections

International Journal of Dermatology, Volume 64, Issue 8, Page 1349-1355, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Fungal infections are an important source of morbidity and mortality that can manifest as superficial or invasive diseases. Diagnostic techniques for human fungal pathogens remain problematic, and multi‐drug resistance is emerging. This review addresses the potential emergence of new fungal pathogens in changing environments and reported ...

Structural diversity and biological significance of glycosphingolipids in pathogenic and opportunistic fungi [PDF]

, 2014
Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are ubiquitous membrane components and have key roles in biological systems, acting as second messengers or modulators of signal transduction by affecting several events, ranging from cell adhesion, cell growth, cell motility ...

A steric gate prevents mutagenic dATP incorporation opposite 8‐oxo‐deoxyguanosine in mitochondrial DNA polymerases

The FEBS Journal, Volume 292, Issue 13, Page 3430-3448, July 2025.
Reactive oxygen species induce mutagenic DNA lesions, such as 8‐oxo‐2′‐deoxyguanosine (8‐oxodG), which acts as a template for dCMP and dAMP incorporation through its anti and syn conformations. Specific residues must regulate the fidelity of templated 8‐oxodG.

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.

Genome size and ploidy of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis reveals a haploid DNA content: Flow cytometry and GP43 sequence analysis [PDF]

, 2007
The aim of this study was to evaluate genome size and ploidy of the dimorphic pathogenic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. The cell cycle analysis of 10 P. brasiliensis isolates by flow cytometry (FCM) revealed a genome size ranging from 26.3+/-0.1Mb

Understanding causes of morbidity and mortality in Southern Hemisphere small Odontoceti: a scoping review

Mammal Review, Volume 55, Issue 2, April 2025.
This review identifies key causes of morbidity and mortality in Southern Hemisphere small Odontoceti, highlighting significant anthropogenic threats and the enhanced need for conservation strategies. Key findings include high rates of entanglements and a diverse range of infectious pathogens. Abstract Marine mammals serve as sentinels for environmental

Establishment of an experimental system to analyse extracellular vesicles during apoplastic fungal pathogenesis

Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 4, Issue 2, February 2025.
Abstract Phoma stem canker disease of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) is caused by the extracellular fungal pathogen Leptosphaeria maculans. Although this pathogen resides exclusively in apoplastic spaces surrounding plant cells, the significance of extracellular vesicles (EVs) has not been assessed.
