Opportunistic yeast infections: candidiasis, cryptococcosis, trichosporonosis and geotrichosis [PDF]

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, 2013
SummaryOpportunistic yeast infections are diseases caused by fungi which normally are saprophytic and do not cause disease in humans or animals. The prevalence of these diseases has been increasing due to immunosuppressive, corticosteroid, and long‐term antibiotic treatment following organ transplantation or after serious metabolic, hematological, or ...

Molecular evidence that the opportunistic fungal pathogen Trichosporon asahii is part of the normal fungal microbiota of the human gut based on rRNA genotyping

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2015
The fungus Trichosporon asahii is distributed widely in the environment and is frequently isolated from clinical specimens. It can cause life-threatening disseminated infections, including breakthrough infection after the administration of candin ...

Therapeutic efficacy of posaconazole in a murine model of disseminated trichosporonosis [PDF]

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2013
To study the effect of the initiation time of posaconazole treatment from 1 to 3 days after systemic infection by Trichosporon asahii in mice.BALB/c mice, 4-5 weeks old, were intravenously infected with 1 × 10(7) cfu/mouse of T. asahii. The onset of treatment varied from 1 to 3 days after infection.

Efficacy of Voriconazole in a Guinea Pig Model of Invasive Trichosporonosis [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2006
ABSTRACT We have evaluated the efficacy of voriconazole (VRC) in a systemic infection by Trichosporon asahii in immunosuppressed guinea pigs. VRC was more effective than amphotericin B in prolonging survival and reducing tissue burden. The best results were obtained with VRC at 10 mg/kg of body weight/day.

Identification of Trichosporon yeast isolates from superficial infections in male patients from Central Brazil: an approach to the diversity of infections caused by this basidiomycete fungus [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology
The genus Trichosporon are currently recognized as opportunistic pathogens capable of causing superficial "white piedra" infections and potentially fatal invasive diseases (Trichosporonosis). In this work, determine the agent Trichosporon spp.
