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.

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.

DETECTION OF PNEUMOCYSTIS CARINII (JIROVECI) FROM IRAQI PATIENTS WITH LOWER RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTIONS

The Iraqi Journal of Medical Sciences, 2016
Background: Pneumocystis carinii is one of the rare fungi which cause pneumonia in immunocompromised patients. It is important to detect the fungus from the clinical specimens of suspected patients by laboratory tests. Objective:To identify Pneumocystis

Increasing Pneumocystis pneumonia, England, UK, 2000-2010. [PDF]

, 2013
After an increase in the number of reported cases of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia in England, we investigated data from 2000-2010 to verify the increase. We analyzed national databases for microbiological and clinical diagnoses of P.

Comprehensive and definitive structural identities of Pneumocystis carinii sterols

Journal of Lipid Research, 2002
Pneumocystis causes a type of pneumonia in immunodeficient mammals, such as AIDS patients. Mammals cannot alkylate the C-24 position of the sterol side chain, nor can they desaturate C-22.
