Functional and Expression Analyses of the Pneumocystis MAT Genes Suggest Obligate Sexuality through Primary Homothallism within Host Lungs

mBio, 2018
Fungi of the genus Pneumocystis are obligate parasites that colonize mammals’ lungs and are host species specific. Pneumocystis jirovecii and Pneumocystis carinii infect, respectively, humans and rats.

Improved detection of Pneumocystis jirovecii in upper and lower respiratory tract specimens from children with suspected pneumocystis pneumonia using real-time PCR: a prospective study [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND: Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) is a major cause of hospitalization and mortality in HIV-infected African children. Microbiologic diagnosis relies predominantly on silver or immunofluorescent staining of a lower respiratory tract (LRT) specimens

Comparative Evaluation Between the RealStarPneumocystis jiroveciiPCR Kit and the AmpliSensPneumocystis jirovecii(carinii)-FRT PCR Kit for DetectingP. jiroveciiin Non-HIV Immunocompromised Patients

Annals of Laboratory Medicine, 2019
Real-time PCR is more sensitive than microscopic examination for detecting Pneumocystis jirovecii. We compared the performance of two assays for detecting P. jirovecii DNA: the RealStar Pneumocystis jirovecii PCR Kit 1.0 CE (Altona Diagnostics, Hamburg, Germany) and the AmpliSens Pneumocystis jirovecii (carinii)-FRT PCR kit (InterLabService Ltd ...

Evaluation of a commercial Loop‐mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) assay for rapid detection of Pneumocystis jirovecii

Mycoses, Volume 63, Issue 10, Page 1107-1114, October 2020., 2020
Summary Background Various tools are obtainable for the detection of Pneumocystis jirovecii, among them qPCR promising highest sensitivity. A novel molecular method is commercially available, the loop‐mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay. Objectives We compared the performance of the LAMP eazyplex® Pneumocystis jirovecii with the RealStar ...
