Nosocomial Pneumocystis jirovecii infections
Parasite, 2008 Airborne transmission of Pneumocystis sp. from host to host has been demonstrated in rodent models and several observations suggest that interindividual transmission occurs in humans.

Pneumocystis jirovecii colonization in chronic pulmonary disease
Parasite, 2011 Pneumocystis jirovecii causes pneumonia in immunosuppressed individuals. However, it has been reported the detection of low levels of Pneumocystis DNA in patients without signs and symptoms of pneumonia, which likely represents colonization.

Climate and genotypes of Pneumocystis jirovecii [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2007 This study explored whether seasonal and/or climatic factors influenced detection of specific genotypes of Pneumocystis jirovecii. Between 1989 and 2001, 155 isolates of P. jirovecii were obtained from patients undergoing bronchoscopic alveolar lavage. For each isolate, the month and climatic conditions were noted. Genotypes of P.

Pneumocystis jiroveciiin General Population
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005 The possible presence of Pneumocystis among healthy adults was examined by detecting Pneumocystis jirovecii-specific DNA in prospectively obtained oropharyngeal wash samples from 50 persons without underlying lung disease or immunosuppression. Pneumocystis carriage, defined by detecting Pneumocystis DNA by nested polymerase chain reaction in 2 ...

Dihydropteroate Synthase Gene Mutations in Pneumocystis and Sulfa Resistance [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 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.
