Sporothrix and Sporotrichosis: A South African Perspective on a Growing Global Health Threat

Mycoses, Volume 67, Issue 10, October 2024.
ABSTRACT Sporotrichosis is a disease that arises from a fungal infection caused by members of the Ascomycete genus Sporothrix. The disease has a unique history in South Africa, due to an association with gold mines, where large numbers of mine workers were infected in the 1930s and 1940s.

Thermotolerance in S. cerevisiae as a model to study extracellular vesicle biology

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2024.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are thought to mediate intercellular communication for diverse physiology in all organisms. However, EVs are understudied in S. cerevisiae (baker's yeast), a model organism extensively used to resolve the molecular basis of fundamental eukaryotic biology. Here, Logan et al.

Feline sporotrichosis: a case series of itraconazole-resistant Sporothrix brasiliensis infection

Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2020
The treatment of feline sporotrichosis is a challenge for veterinary clinicians since refractory cases may occur, due either to patient and/or to pharmacological management errors or due to the development of antifungal resistance. Thus, we aimed to describe the therapeutic history of feline cases infected by itraconazole-resistant Sporothrix ...

Rapid Molecular Diagnosis of Sporotrichosis Directly from Biological Samples from a Reference Center in Brazil

Journal of Fungi
The gold standard diagnosis of sporotrichosis is the isolation of Sporothrix sp. in culture media, but this is a time-consuming test that is susceptible to contamination and can be affected by the fungal load.
