Comparison of Cell Wall Polysaccharide Composition and Structure Between Strains of Sporothrix schenckii and Sporothrix brasiliensis [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Sporothrix schenckii, Sporothrix brasiliensis, and Sporothrix globosa are the main causative agents of sporotrichosis, a human subcutaneous mycosis. Differences in virulence patterns are associated with each species but remain largely uncharacterized ...

Exploring virulence and immunogenicity in the emerging pathogen Sporothrix brasiliensis. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017
Sporotrichosis is a polymorphic chronic infection of humans and animals classically acquired after traumatic inoculation with soil and plant material contaminated with Sporothrix spp. propagules.

Influences of the Culturing Media in the Virulence and Cell Wall of Sporothrix schenckii, Sporothrix brasiliensis, and Sporothrix globosa [PDF]

Journal of Fungi, 2020
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 ...

Tattooing as a gateway to Sporothrix brasiliensis infection. [PDF]

Med Mycol Case Rep, 2022
Recently, sporotrichosis caused by Sporothrix brasiliensis transmitted during tattooing process was described in the epicenter of the Brazilian epidemic sporotrichosis. We report a similar case of this mycosis in a patient recently tattooed, but probably infected by a sick cat instead of via a contaminated procedure.

<i>Sporothrix brasiliensis</i>: Epidemiology, Therapy, and Recent Developments. [PDF]

J Fungi (Basel), 2023
Sporotrichosis caused by Sporothrix brasiliensis is an emergent mycosis that is now a worldwide concern. One important step to sporotrichosis control is its correct treatment. However, limitations abound; thus, new antifungals, mainly focused on S. brasiliensis, are urgently needed.

New Insights on Transmission of Sporothrix brasiliensis. [PDF]

Mycoses
ABSTRACTBackgroundSporotrichosis is the most prevalent saprozoonotic implantation mycosis worldwide.ObjectivesA prospective experimental study was performed to evaluate persistence on surfaces such as stainless steel medium‐density fiberboard (MDF) wood, tile, and polyester fabric.MethodsThe different surfaces were homogeneously contaminated using the ...

Amlodipine and lufenuron as repurposing drugs against Sporothrix brasiliensis. [PDF]

PeerJ, 2023
Background Sporotrichosis caused by Sporothrix brasiliensis is a globally emerging infectious disease with limited therapeutic options. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the in vitro activity of amlodipine (AML) and lufenuron (LUF) alone and their interaction with itraconazole (ITZ), the first-choice drug against S. brasiliensis.

Treatment of Human Sporotrichosis Caused by Sporothrix brasiliensis. [PDF]

J Fungi (Basel), 2022
We describe the successful treatment of a series of 30 zoonotic sporotrichosis cases from southern Brazil. Sporothrix brasiliensis was the species genotypically identified in all 25 confirmed cases. Five other cases were classified as probable, without laboratory confirmation, but with clinical and epidemiological data of cat-transmitted sporotrichosis.

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.
