Analysis of xanthyletin and secondary metabolites from Pseudomonas stutzeri ST1302 and Klebsiella pneumoniae ST2501 against Pythium insidiosum

BMC Microbiology, 2019
Background Pythium insidiosum is a member of the oomycetes class of aquatic fungus-like microorganisms. It can infect humans and animals through skin wounds and the eyes, causing pythiosis, an infectious disease with high morbidity and mortality rates ...

In vitro anti-Pythium insidiosum activity of biogenic silver nanoparticles

Medical Mycology, 2018
AbstractPythium insidiosum belongs to the phylum Oomycota. It is capable of infecting mammals causing a serious condition called pythiosis, which affects mainly horses in Brazil and humans in Thailand. The objective of the present study was to verify the in vitro anti-P. insidiosum activity of a biogenic silver nanoparticle (bio-AgNP) formulation.

Human Pythiosis, Brazil

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005
Pythiosis, caused by Pythium insidiosum, occurs in humans and animals and is acquired from aquatic environments that harbor the emerging pathogen. Diagnosis is difficult because clinical and histopathologic features are not pathognomonic.

Pythium insidiosum keratitis confirmed by DNA sequence analysis [PDF]

British Journal of Ophthalmology, 2001
Editor,— Pythium insidiosum is an unusual but serious ocular pathogen. Although the organism grows as a mycelium in tissue, it is not a member of the fungal kingdom and its identification can be a challenge for a routine laboratory. We report a case of Pythium keratitis in which the organism was confirmed by nucleic acid sequencing. ### CASE REPORT A
