Promising Prodiginins Biological Activities
ABSTRACT Prodiginins are a large family of at least 34 pyrrolic compounds, including the well‐studied red pigment prodigiosin. Prodiginins are produced by several microorganisms displaying broad biological activities, including antimicrobial, antiviral, antiparasitic, antiproliferative, and immunosuppressive activities.

Systemic Sporotrichosis With Testicular Involvement: Literature Review and Case Report
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.
