In vitro susceptibility of Sporothrix brasiliensis: Comparison of yeast and mycelial phases [PDF]
Medical Mycology, 2017 Sporothrix brasiliensis has emerged as an important cause of sporotrichosis, particularly associated with feline and zoonotic cases. Owing to the paucity of data on antifungal activity against this species, the present study aimed to evaluate the in vitro susceptibility of clinical isolates of S.

Systemic Sporotrichosis With Testicular Involvement: Literature Review and Case Report
Case Reports in Urology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.Introduction Sporotrichosis is an endemic fungal infection in Brazil, caused by a dimorphic fungus of the genus Sporothrix. Transmission occurs through traumatic inoculation from soil, contaminated plants, and zoonotic sources, mainly from cats, as well as through inhalation of conidia.

Pentathiepins are an understudied molecular prism of biological activities
Archiv der Pharmazie, Volume 357, Issue 12, December 2024.Pentathiepins are cyclic sulfur‐rich compounds that possess remarkable chemical stability, unique structural features, and an extraordinary variety of biological activities. Nonetheless, they have only drawn the attention of the scientific community on a few occasions, generally after the serendipitous discovery of some of their properties. This review

Sporothrix brasiliensis on cats with skin ulcers in Southern Brazil
Medical Mycology, 2020 Abstract Sporotrichosis is a disease caused by thermally dimorphic fungi belonging to the Sporothrix schenckii complex. We report the occurrence of multiple cases of sporotrichosis in cats in Porto Alegre (RS), Brazil, from 2015 to 2019. A set of 21 fungal isolates were collected and the partial sequence of calmodulin (CAL) gene compared.
