Pins Gene Table v2.0: An Online Genome Database of 37 Pythium insidiosum Strains for Gene Content Exploration and Phylogenomic Analysis [PDF]

Journal of Fungi
Unlike most pathogenic oomycetes, Pythium insidiosum infects humans and animals instead of plants. P. insidiosum has three clinically relevant genotypes/clades that cause a severe disease called pythiosis.

Mechanism of action, resistance, synergism, and clinical implications of azithromycin

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, Volume 36, Issue 6, June 2022., 2022
Azithromycin, sold under the name Zithromax, is classified as a macrolide. It has many benefits due to its immunomodulatory, anti‐inflammatory, and antibacterial effects. Azithromycin mechanism of action including the inhibition of bacterial protein synthesis, inhibition of proinflammatory cytokine production, inhibition of neutrophil infestation, and ...

History and Perspective of Immunotherapy for Pythiosis

Vaccines, 2021
The fungus-like microorganism Pythium insidiosum causes pythiosis, a life-threatening infectious disease increasingly reported worldwide. Antimicrobial drugs are ineffective. Radical surgery is an essential treatment. Pythiosis can resume post-surgically.
