Deep-Seated Trichosporonosis in an Immunocompetent Patient: A Case Report of Uterine Trichosporonosis [PDF]
We report an unusual case of endometritis caused by Trichosporon beigelii in an elderly woman who had no clinically obvious immunosuppression nor even clinically obvious skin disease. No evidence of predisposing factors for deep trichosporonosis was identified in this patient, who apparently is of normal immune status.

Trichosporon asahii and Trichosporon inkin Biofilms Produce Antifungal-Tolerant Persister Cells
Persister cells are metabolically inactive dormant cells that lie within microbial biofilms. They are phenotypic variants highly tolerant to antimicrobials and, therefore, associated with recalcitrant infections.

A novel murine model of disseminated trichosporonosis [PDF]
Serious infections caused by Trichosporon beigelii have been noted with increasing frequency in immuno-compromised patients. Progress in understanding the pathogenesis of this emerging infection has been limited by the lack of an animal model. We developed a CF1 mouse intravenous inoculation model of disseminated trichosporonosis to evaluate the ...
