Cell walls of the dimorphic fungal pathogens Sporothrix schenckii and Sporothrix brasiliensis exhibit bilaminate structures and sloughing of extensive and intact layers. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
Sporotrichosis is a subcutaneous mycosis caused by pathogenic species of the Sporothrix genus. A new emerging species, Sporothrix brasiliensis, is related to cat-transmitted sporotrichosis and has severe clinical manifestations.

Molecular Identification, Antifungal Susceptibility, and Geographic Origin of Clinical Strains of Sporothrix schenckii Complex in Mexico [PDF]

Journal of Fungi, 2018
Sporotrichosis is a subcutaneous mycosis caused by Sporothrix schenckii complex. The disease has been reported worldwide. However, the incidence of the etiological agent varies in its geographic distribution. We studied 39 clinical isolates of Sporothrix

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 ...

Complement-Mediated Differential Immune Response of Human Macrophages to Sporothrix Species Through Interaction With Their Cell Wall Peptidorhamnomannans [PDF]

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.

The Role of Macrophages in the Host’s Defense against Sporothrix schenckii [PDF]

Pathogens, 2021
The role of immune cells associated with sporotrichosis caused by Sporothrix schenckii is not yet fully clarified. Macrophages through pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) can recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) of Sporothrix, engulf

A case of chronic wounds caused by Sporothrix schenckii infection was rapidly detected by metagenomic next generation sequencing [PDF]

Heliyon
The dimorphic fungus Sporothrix schenckii is widely distributed in soil, vegetation, and decaying organic matter, and can cause sporotrichosis when the patient's skin trauma was exposed to contaminated material with Sporothrix spp.

Pap1 is an adhesin involved in the interaction of Sporothrix schenckii and Sporothrix brasiliensis with the host [PDF]

The Cell Surface
Sporothrix schenckii and Sporothrix brasiliensis are causative agents of sporotrichosis, a mycosis that affects humans and other mammals. Adhesins are considered among the primary virulence factors of these species; however, their molecular identities ...
