Preservation methods in isolates of Sporothrix characterized by polyphasic appr...
de Souza Rabello, Vanessa Brito; Corrêa-Moreira, Danielly; Santos, Cledir; Abreu Pinto, Tatiana Casto; Procopio-Azevedo, Anna Carolina; Boechat, JéssicaSporotrichosis is a subcutaneous mycosis with worldwide distribution and caused by eight pathogenic species of the Sporothrix genus. Different ex situ preservation methods are used around the world to maintain the survival, morphophysiological and genetic traits of fungal strains isolated from patients with sporotrichosis for long terms. The main aim of the present study was to evaluate the survival, phenotypic...

Identification by MALDI-TOF MS of Sporothrix brasiliensis isolated from a subco...
Matos, Aline M. F.; Moreira, Lucas M.; Barczewski, Bianca F.; Matos, Lucas X. de; Oliveira, Jordane B. V. de; Pimentel, Maria Ines F.Sporotrichosis is a globally distributed subcutaneous fungal infection caused by dimorphic fungi belonging to the Sporothrix species complex that affects the skin of limbs predominantly, but not exclusively. A rare case of ocular sporotrichosis in an immunocompetent Brazilian patient from the countryside of Rio de Janeiro State is reported. A 68-year-old woman presented with a subconjunctival infiltrative lesio...
Development and optimization of a new MALDI-TOF protocol for identification of ...
Oliveira, M. M. E.; Santos, C.; Sampaio, Paula; Romeo, Orazio; Almeida-Paes, Rodrigo; Pais, Célia; Lima, Nelson; Zancope-Oliveira, R. M.Accurate species identification of the Sporothrix schenckii complex is essential, since identification based only on phenotypic characteristics is often inconclusive due to phenotypic variability within the species. We used matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) for species identification of 70 environmental and clinical isolates of the Sporothrix complex. A ...
Chronic disseminated histoplasmosis with lesions restricted to the mouth: case ...
Valle, Antonio Carlos F. do; Moreira, Luiz Carlos; Almeida-Paes, Rodrigo; Moreira, João S.; Pizzini, Cláudia V.; Muniz, Mauro de MedeirosWe report a rare case of chronic disseminated histoplasmosis with several ulcerated lesions in the oral cavity in an alcoholic patient without human immunodeficiency virus infection, with no detectable signs and symptoms of systemic disease or extraoral manifestations. Histopathological analysis revealed chronic inflammatory process with granulomas containing Histoplasma-like organisms. The isolation of Histopl...
