Catalases in the pathogenesis of Sporothrix schenckii research. [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
Pathogenic fungal infection success depends on the ability to escape the immune response. Most strategies for fungal infection control are focused on the inhibition of virulence factors and increasing the effectiveness of antifungal drugs. Nevertheless, little attention has been focused on their physiological resistance to the host

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 ...

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

Journal of Fungi (Basel, Switzerland), 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

Response to Oxidative Stress in <i>Sporothrix schenckii</i>. [PDF]

J Fungi (Basel)
Oxidative stress is key in immune defense against fungal infections, such as those caused by Sporothrix schenckii, the dimorphic fungus responsible for sporotrichosis. Phagocytic cells utilize oxidative stress as a crucial mechanism to control pathogen spread. During S.

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 ...

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

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.

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.

Sporothrix schenckii and Sporotrichosis [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2011
SUMMARYSporotrichosis, which is caused by the dimorphic fungusSporothrix schenckii, is currently distributed throughout the world, especially in tropical and subtropical zones. Infection generally occurs by traumatic inoculation of soil, plants, and organic matter contaminated with the fungus.

Molecular identification of Sporothrix species in a hyperendemic area in Peru

Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2021
To date, there have been no molecular typing studies to identify the Sporothrix species circulating in Abancay, a hyperendemic area of sporotrichosis in Peru.
