In Vitro Activities of Five Antifungal Drugs Against Conidia and Sclerotic Cells of Chromoblastomycosis Agent Fonsecaea spp

Microbiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chromoblastomycosis (CBM) is a chronic skin and subcutaneous infection mainly caused by Fonsecaea pedrosoi, a dematiaceous fungus with various morphotypes. Characteristic sclerotic cells—globe‐shaped, multiseptated and pigmented—are found in lesions of infected individuals, though their differentiation in the host remains poorly understood. To

Comparison of Three Sympatric Desert Lizards: Digestive Tract Structure, Digestive Enzyme Activities, Gut Microbiota, and Metabolites

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We performed 16S rDNA sequencing and metabolite profiling for three sympatric lizard species—Teratoscincus roborowskii, Phrynocephalus axillaris, and Eremias roborowskii—and compared their goblet cell and enzyme activities in the digestive tract. Our study suggests that the dietary niche may promote divergence or convergence of microbiota across host ...

Host Transcriptomics and Culture‐Independent Testing for the Management of Febrile Neutropenia: Data From an Observational Study Conducted in a Bone Marrow Transplant Unit

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Managing febrile neutropenia is challenging due to the limited sensitivity of blood culture (BC) and the lack of tools differentiating infectious from non‐infectious fever. T2 magnetic resonance (T2MR) is a culture‐independent system detecting bacteria (T2Bacteria) and yeasts (T2Candida); SeptiCyte RAPID is a host response assay ...
