ABSTRACT Background Dermatophytes are the most common agents of superficial mycoses in humans and animals. In a model of Trichophyton benhamiae dermatophytosis in its natural host (guinea pig), the most overexpressed gene was subtilisin 6 (SUB6).

Molecular cloning and biochemical characterization of a Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase from Scedosporium apiospermum. [PDF]
A Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase has been characterized from Scedosporium apiospermum, a fungus which often colonizes the respiratory tract of patients with cystic fibrosis. Enzyme production was stimulated by iron starvation.

Fruiting Bodies of Aspergillus in a Cavitary Lung Mass: A Rare Finding on Fine Needle Aspiration
ABSTRACT Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) guided fine needle aspiration is a modality for diagnosing lung nodules as well as fungal organisms. One of the most frequently isolated fungal organisms from immunocompromised patients or immunocompetent patients with severe COPD is Aspergillus spp., which is characterized by septate hyphae with progressive ...

The results show that drought indirectly restricts plant growth, which is not mediated by root exudates or root litter, but through altering microbial biomass and community composition. These findings suggest that plant recovery from extreme drought is obstructed by persistent changes in soil microbial communities.

Scedosporium Sinusitis: A Rare Opportunistic Infection
Scedosporium sinusitis is an opportunistic fungal infection that is difficult to treat due to its inherent resistance to many antifungal agents. Infections may cause both localized or disseminated disease usually in skin and soft tissues. Immunocompetent persons are typically unaffected and disseminated disease occurs in immunocompromised hosts ...
