Skin Mast Cells Contribute to Sporothrix schenckii Infection [PDF]

, 2020
Background: Sporothrix schenckii (S. schenckii), a dimorphic fungus, causes sporotrichosis. Mast cells (MCs) have been described to be involved in skin fungal infections. The role of MCs in cutaneous sporotrichosis remains largely unknown. Objectives:

Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of Colombian clinical isolates of Sporothrix spp.

Biomédica: revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud, 2023
Introduction. For over a century, Sporothrix schenckii was considered the sole species responsible for sporotrichosis. In 2007, scientific community confirmed the disease could be caused by various Sporothrix species.

Etymologia: Sporothrix schenckii [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019
Sporothrix schenckii, Sporothrix brasiliensis, and Sporothrix globosa are etiological agents of sporotrichosis, a human subcutaneous mycosis. Although the protocols to evaluate Sporothrix virulence in animal models are well described, the cell preparation before inoculation is not standardized, and several culturing media are used to grow yeast-like ...

Complement-Mediated Differential Immune Response of Human Macrophages to Sporothrix Species Through Interaction With Their Cell Wall Peptidorhamnomannans

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
In this study, the human immune response mechanisms against Sporothrix brasiliensis and Sporothrix schenckii, two causative agents of human and animal sporotrichosis, were investigated. The interaction of S. brasiliensis and S.

Recombinant phage displaying ToAP2D peptide with antifungal activity against Sporothrix globosa

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
We designed and synthesized recombinant phage nanofibers displaying ToAP2D peptide and investigated their antifungal effect on Sporothrix and the corresponding mechanism. Antimicrobial peptide, ToAP2D, was used as the template.

Differential Recognition of Sporothrix schenckii, Sporothrix brasiliensis, and Sporothrix globosa by Human Monocyte-Derived Macrophages and Dendritic Cells

Infection and Drug Resistance, 2023
Sporotrichosis is a mycosis frequently caused by Sporothrix schenckii, Sporothrix brasiliensis, and Sporothrix globosa. The cell wall is a species-specific fungal structure with a direct role in activating the host's immune response. The current knowledge about anti-Sporothrix immunity comes from studies using S. schenckii or S. brasiliensis and murine

Environmental isolation of <i>Sporothrix</i> spp. in veterinary settings. [PDF]

Vet Rec Open
Abstract Background This study investigated environmental contamination by Sporothrix spp. in a veterinary facility specialised in treating cats with sporotrichosis. Methods Twelve samples were collected from frequently touched surfaces and cages of three cats at different treatment stages. Sampling sites included a procedure table, door handle, faucet,

Sporothrix schenckii and sporotrichosis [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2006
For a long time sporotrichosis has been regarded to have a low incidence in Brazil; however, recent studies demonstrate that not only the number of reported cases but also the incidence of more severe or atypical clinical forms of the disease are increasing. Recent data indicate that these more severe forms occur in about 10% of patients with confirmed

Phylogeny and taxonomy of the Ophiostoma piceae complex and the Dutch elm disease fungi [PDF]

, 2001
The Ophiostoma piceae complex forms a monophyletic group of insect-dispersed pyrenomycetes with synnemata (Pesotum) and micronematous (Sporothrix) synanamorphs. Other species of Ophios-toma outside of the O.
