Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes, Complement, and Trichophyton rubrum
Trichophyton rubrum can activate complement. In order to assess the role of complement in host defense, fresh human serum was incubated with fungus. Factors were produced which were chemotactic for polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL), but only if complement activation was allowed.

This study explores the effectiveness of essential oils in controlling postharvest phytopathogenic fungi for fruits and vegetables revealing how essential oils could offer sustainable solutions for reducing fungal contamination. By testing various oils in two methods, we identify Origanum vulgare, Syzygium aromaticum, and Cymbopogon citratus as potent ...

Skin microbiome engineering: Challenges and opportunities in skin diseases treatment
The skin microbiome plays a crucial role in skin health, influencing barrier integrity, immune responses, and disease susceptibility. Various interventions can reshape the microbiome, broadly categorized into targeted and untargeted approaches. Targeted strategies, such as phage therapy, engineered bacteria, and phage lysins, selectively modulate ...

Abstract Background There has been a global rise in cases of dermatophytosis and, in particular, recalcitrant and recurrent cases on tinea of the glabrous skin. This phenomenon, particularly prevalent in India, has been linked to the concerning rise of antifungal resistance. The challenge is amplified by a dearth of comprehensive, international data to
