Evaluation of VITEK 2 for discriminating Trichosporon species: misidentification of Trichosporon non–T. asahii

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 2014
The VITEK 2 system was evaluated for the identification of 74 Trichosporon invasive and non-invasive clinical isolates, comparing its results with the IGS1 sequencing. The system correctly identified Trichosporon asahii but not non-T. asahii isolates, which represented nearly 50% of the invasive infections in our nosocomial setting.

Trichosporon species infection in bone marrow transplanted patients

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 2001
Trichosporon species are emerging as opportunistic agents that cause systemic diseases in immunocompromised patients. Patients undergoing bone marrow transplant are submitted to intense and prolonged periods of neutropenia and consequently to several risk factors to fungal infections as the use of broad spectrum antibiotics and invasive devices.

Identification of clinically relevant Trichosporon species

Mycoses, 2003
Summary A dichotomous identification key to pathogenic species of the basisiomycetous genus Trichosporon Behrend is provided. It is based on growth tests with carbon sources not traditionally used in yeast taxonomy, viz. uric acid, ethylamine, l‐4‐hydroxyproline, tyramine and l‐phenylalanine as sources of carbon and nitrogen, and polygalacturonate ...

White piedra and Trichosporon species in equatorial Africa. III. Identification of Trichosporon species by slide agglutination test

Mycoses, 1994
Summary. Fifty‐two Trichosporon strains isolated from Gabonese female patients 15–60 years, were studied. The identity of these strains was established by two different methods: the method proposed by Guého et al. (1992), based on mycological criteria, and a slide agglutination method performed with monospecific antisera prepared in our laboratory ...

Multidrug-resistantTrichosporonspecies: underestimated fungal pathogens posing imminent threats in clinical settings

Critical Reviews in Microbiology, 2021
Species of Trichosporon and related genera are widely used in biotechnology and, hence, many species have their genome sequenced. Importantly, yeasts of the genus Trichosporon have been increasingly identified as a cause of life-threatening invasive trichosporonosis (IT) in humans and are associated with an exceptionally high mortality rate ...

DNA base composition and DNA relatedness among species of Trichosporon Behrend

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 1984
The nuclear DNA of 28 species (30 strains investigated) of yeasts classified currently or previously in the genus Trichosporon. was analysed for its molar percentage of guanine + cytosine (mol% G + C). This criterion, together with biochemical characteristics, suggested the separation of the organisms studied into two groups.

White piedra and Trichosporon species in equatorial Africa. III. Identification of Trichosporon species by slide agglutination test.

Mycoses, 1995
Fifty-two Trichosporon strains isolated from Gabonese female patients 15-60 years, were studied. The identity of these strains was established by two different methods: the method proposed by Guého et al. (1992), based on mycological criteria, and a slide agglutination method performed with monospecific antisera prepared in our laboratory.

Pacemaker Lead Endocarditis Due to Trichosporon Species.

The Journal of the Association of Physicians of India, 2015
Pacemaker-related fungal endocarditis is an uncommon and unexpected complication. It is associated with high mortality rates. Due to nonspecific clinical symptoms, negative blood culture and delays in obtaining appropriate imaging studies; late diagnosis is common with fungal endocarditis.

Characterization of oleaginous yeasts revealed two novel species:Trichosporon cacaoliposimilissp. nov. andTrichosporon oleaginosussp. nov.

Mycologia, 2011
Two new species in the anamorphic basidiomycetous genus Trichosporon (Tremellomycetes, Agaricomycotina) were uncovered in a DNA sequence-based molecular analysis of oleaginous yeasts maintained in the ATCC Mycology Collection. One yeast is named as Trichosporon cacaoliposimilis sp. nov. for its capability of synthesizing and accumulating a large amount

Catheter-related bloodstream infections caused by Trichosporon species.

The Southeast Asian journal of tropical medicine and public health, 2014
Trichosporonosis is an emerging invasive opportunistic fungal infection in immunocompromised patients. We report 5 catheter related blood stream infections caused by Trichosporon species over a five-year period at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand.
