Sporothrix schenckii sensu stricto and Sporothrix brasiliensis Are Differentially Recognized by Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Sporothrix schenckii sensu stricto y S. brasiliensis se asocian generalmente a la esporotricosis, una micosis subcutánea distribuida por todo el mundo. Los análisis comparativos entre estas dos especies indican que contienen diferencias genéticas y fisiológicas que probablemente afecten la interacción con las células huésped.

Environmental Isolation of Sporothrix brasiliensis in an Area With Recurrent Feline Sporotrichosis Cases [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 Sporotrichosis has been expanding throughout the Brazilian territory in recent years. New outbreaks have emerged, and consequently, the sporotrichosis agents, mainly Sporothrix brasiliensis, should remain in the environment somehow. Therefore, the aim of

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.
