Recombinant phage displaying ToAP2D peptide with antifungal activity against Sporothrix globosa
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.

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

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

Acid Phosphatases of Sporothrix schenckii [PDF]
Sporothrix schenckii cells were grown on a medium containing yeast extract, neopeptone and glucose at 20 degrees C to obtain a mixture of mycelia and conidia, and at 35 degrees C to obtain yeast-like cells. The organism was maintained in the mycelial form, and its transformation to yeast at the higher temperature proceeded via conidia and 'intermediate

Sporotrichosis and paracoccidioidomycosis in Peru: experiences in prevention and control
The epidemiological picture of sporotrichosis and paracoccidioidomycosis in Peru and Latin America is sporadic, fragmented, and geographically limited, mainly due to lack of mandatory reporting and limited diagnostic coverage.

Zoonotic feline sporotrichosis: a small case cluster in Perth, Western Australia, and a review of previous feline cases from Australia. [PDF]
Sporotrichosis is caused by species of the fungus Sporothrix that affect human and several animal species. The transmission of sporotrichosis is classically from an environmental source following penetrating injury. The alternative zoonotic route has gained attention due to the rapid and significant spread of cat‐transmitted sporotrichosis in South ...

CRISPR-based tools for targeted genetic manipulation in pathogenic Sporothrix species
Sporothrix brasiliensis is an emerging fungal pathogen frequently associated with zoonotic transmission of sporotrichosis by contaminated cats. Within 25 years, the disease has spread not only throughout Brazil but now to neighboring countries in Latin ...

Virulence Factors of Sporothrix schenckii
Sporothrix schenckii is one of the etiological agents of sporotrichosis. In this review, we discuss the virulence factors that have been proven to participate in the S. schenckii-host interaction. Among these known factors, we can find cell wall glycoproteins, adhesins, melanin, extracellular vesicles, and dimorphism.
