Comparative Genomics Suggests Primary Homothallism of Pneumocystis Species [PDF]

mBio, 2015
Pneumocystis species are fungal parasites of mammal lungs showing host specificity. Pneumocystis jirovecii colonizes humans and causes severe pneumonia in immunosuppressed individuals.

Pneumocystis carinii [PDF]

Nursing, 2002
Pneumocystis carinii is an atypical fungus that causes pneumonia in immunocompromised individuals. P. carinii comprises a heterogeneous group of organisms that have been isolated from a wide range of mammalian host species. P. carinii infection is host species specific, the P. carinii organisms that infect humans have only been found in humans.

Evidence of airborne excretion of Pneumocystis carinii during infection in immunocompetent rats. Lung involvement and antibody response. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
To better understand the role of immunocompetent hosts in the diffusion of Pneumocystis in the environment, airborne shedding of Pneumocystis carinii in the surrounding air of experimentally infected Sprague Dawley rats was quantified by means of a real ...

Pneumocystis carinii karyotypes [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1990
Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis techniques were used to examine the chromosomes of Pneumocystis carinii isolated from laboratory rats and two human subjects. P. carinii organisms isolated from each of four rat colonies and from two patients each produced a distinct band pattern, but in all cases the bands ranged in size from 300 to 700 kilobase pairs.

Dihydropteroate synthase gene mutations in Pneumocystis and sulfa resistance [PDF]

, 2004
Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) remains a major cause of illness and death in HIV-infected persons. Sulfa drugs, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) and dapsone are mainstays of PCP treatment and prophylaxis.

Comparative Genomics of Pneumocystis Species Suggests the Absence of Genes for myo-Inositol Synthesis and Reliance on Inositol Transport and Metabolism

mBio, 2014
In the context of deciphering the metabolic strategies of the obligate pathogenic fungi in the genus Pneumocystis, the genomes of three species (P. carinii, P. murina, and P.

Seasonal dynamics of Pneumocystis carinii in the field vole, Microtus agrestis, and in the common shrew, Sorex araneus, in Finland [PDF]

, 1999
Seasonal dynamics of Pneumocystis carinii in the field vole, Microtus agrestis, and in the common shrew, Sorex araneus, were investigated in southern and central Finland by microscopical examination of methenamine silver-stained tissue sections.
