Review of Methods and Antimicrobial Agents for Susceptibility Testing Against Pythium insidiosum

Heliyon, 2020
Pythiosis is a life-threatening infectious disease of humans and animals caused by the oomycete microorganism Pythium insidiosum. The disease has been increasingly diagnosed worldwide. P. insidiosum inhabits freshwater and presents in two forms: mycelium

A method to obtain rapid zoosporogenesis of Pythium insidiosum

Mycopathologia, 1988
Nine strains of Pythium insidiosum the etiologic agent of pythiosis, were inoculated on 2% water agar plus grass blades and then incubated one day at 25 degrees C, 35 degrees C and 37 degrees C. Sporangium and secondary biflagellate-type zoosporas from the parasitized grass blades were noticed in induction medium after one hour of incubation at 35 ...

In vitro paradoxical growth of Pythium insidiosum in the presence of caspofungin

Veterinary Microbiology, 2010
Pythium insidiosum is a zoosporic organism which causes pythiosis in humans and animals. This study aimed to report the paradoxical growth of Brazilian P. insidiosum strains when submitted to in vitro susceptibility tests with caspofungin. The growth at concentrations above the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) ranged from 16 to 128 μg/ml and it ...

Activity Against Pythium insidiosum and Isolated Constituents of Cordia insignis Roots. [PDF]

Chem Biodivers
This study investigates the roots of Cordia insignis in search of novel treatments for pythiosis, caused by the oomycete Pythium insidiosum. Seven compounds are isolated, including steroids, a saponin, a coumarin, a fatty acid, and a glycoside, the latter two are reported for the first time in the genus.

Role of Immunotherapy in Pythium insidiosum Keratitis. [PDF]

Am J Trop Med Hyg, 2022
ABSTRACT. Pythium keratitis is a potentially devastating ocular condition. Incidence of Pythium keratitis has been reported in tropical and subtropical areas. In previous reports, there were no effective or standard treatments, and combinations of medication, immunotherapy, and surgery were proposed.

Pythium insidiosum Keratitis: Past, Present, and Future. [PDF]

Ophthalmol Ther, 2022
Pythium insidiosum (PI) is an oomycete, a protist belonging to the clade Stramenopila. PI causes vision-threatening keratitis closely mimicking fungal keratitis (FK), hence it is also labeled as "parafungus". PI keratitis was initially confined to Thailand, USA, China, and Australia, but with growing clinical awareness and improvement in diagnostic ...

Rapid Visual Detection of <i>Pythium insidiosum</i> by LAMP-LFD. [PDF]

J Fungi (Basel)
Pythium insidiosum, the causative agent of pythiosis, remains an important pathogen in tropical and subtropical regions, where delayed diagnosis is associated with severe disease and poor clinical outcomes. We developed a loop-mediated isothermal amplification coupled with lateral flow dipstick (LAMP-LFD) assay for the rapid detection of P. insidiosum.

Pythium insidiosum E PITIOSE

Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2023
Pythium insidiosum is the etiological agent of pythiosis. This microorganism is a pathogenic oomycete that causes disease in several animal species, such as horses, dogs, cattle, sheep, goats, cats, birds and also humans. It is a disease characterized by lesions in the cutaneous/subcutaneous tissues in the form of exudative granulomas, the formation of
