Existence of Sporothrix schenckii as a Pulmonary Saprophyte

Chest, 1978
A 48-year-old male custodian and part-time gardener was hospitalized for treatment of renal tuberculosis. Sputum cultures failed to reveal mycobacteria, but Sporothrix schenckii was isolated over an eight-month period. In the absence of clinical or roentgenographic evidence of active lung disease, we postulate the saprophytic existence of S schenckii ...

Gastrointestinal inoculation of Sporothrix schenckii in mice

Mycopathologia, 1982
Antibiotic-decontaminated and untreated conventional mice were inoculated intragastrically with 10(7) viable cells of Sporothrix schenckii to compare the incidence of gastrointestinal (GI) colonization. In control mice, S. schenckii was completely eliminated from the GI tract by 12 h post-inoculation.

Disseminated sporotrichosis with Sporothrix schenckii fungemia

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 1984
The laboratory diagnosis and therapeutic management of disseminated sporotrichosis can present many problems to the clinical laboratory and the clinician. Culturing of clinical specimens is necessary because the direct microscopic examination of specimens for Sporothrix schenckii often is not useful.

Phagocytosis and Intracellular Fate of Sporothrix schenckii

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1979
Human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNLs) phagocytized and killed yeast-phase cells of Sporothrix schenckii in vitro in the presence of 10% unheated serum. The combination of H2O2, KI, and human PMNL myeloperoxidase was lethal to yeast-phase S. schenckii.

Molecular identification of the Sporothrix schenckii complex

Revista Iberoamericana de Micología, 2014
Sporothrix schenckii, an ascomycetous dimorphic organism that for over a century was recognized as the sole agent of sporotrichosis, a subcutaneous mycosis with a worldwide distribution. However, it has been proposed, based on physiologic and molecular aspects, that S.

Virulence Factors in Sporothrix schenckii, One of the Causative Agents of Sporotrichosis.

Current protein and peptide science, 2019
Sporothrix schenckii is one of the etiological agents of sporotrichosis, a fungal infection distributed worldwide. Both, the causative organism and the disease have currently received limited attention by the medical mycology community, most likely ...

Contamination of intravenous fluid with Sporothrix schenckii

Journal of Infection, 1985
Fungi are known to contaminate intravenous (IV) solutions, particularly when there is a defect in the bottle or bag. On occasion several millilitres of such solutions have been infused into patients before the recognition of clumps in the fluid led to termination of the infusion.
