Epidemiology of Clinical Sporotrichosis in the Americas in the Last Ten Years

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Background: Sporotrichosis is a fungal infection caused by species of the Sporothrix genus. Presently, the prevalence of sporotrichosis in the Americas is unknown, so this study aims to analyze the cases reported in the past 10 years.

Development and optimization of a new MALDI-TOF protocol for identification of the Sporothrix species complex [PDF]

, 2015
Accurate species identification of the Sporothrix schenckii complex is essential, since identification based only on phenotypic characteristics is often inconclusive due to phenotypic variability within the species.

Acid Phosphatases of Sporothrix schenckii [PDF]

Microbiology, 1986
Sporothrix schenckii cells were grown on a medium containing yeast extract, neopeptone and glucose at 20 degrees C to obtain a mixture of mycelia and conidia, and at 35 degrees C to obtain yeast-like cells. The organism was maintained in the mycelial form, and its transformation to yeast at the higher temperature proceeded via conidia and 'intermediate

Molecular identification of Sporothrix species involved in the first familial outbreak of sporotrichosis in the state of Espírito Santo, southeastern Brazil

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2013
Sporotrichosis is a widespread subcutaneous mycosis caused by the dimorphic fungi now known as the Sporothrix schenckii complex. This complex is comprised of at least six species, including Sporothrix albicans, Sporothrix brasiliensis, Sporothrix globosa,

Ploidy Determination in the Pathogenic Fungus Sporothrix spp.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The pathogenic clade of the Sporothrix genus comprises the etiological agents of sporotrichosis, a worldwide emergent disease. Despite the growing understanding of their successful pathogen traits, there is little information on genome sizes and ploidy ...
