Characterization of a Paracoccidioides spp. strain from southeastern Brazil gen...
Cocio,Tiago Alexandre; Nascimento,Erika; Kress,Marcia R. V. Z.; Bagagli,Eduardo; Martinez,RobertoAbstract Phylogenetic species of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis complex (S1a and S1b, PS2, PS3, and PS4) and Paracoccidioides lutzii are agents of paracoccidioidomycosis, an endemic fungal disease in Latin America. P. restrepiensis (PS3 genotype) was classified as monophyletic and geographically restricted to Colombia and neighboring territories. BAT (or Pb-327B) was isolated from a patient living in the southea...
Brazilian guidelines for the clinical management of paracoccidioidomycosis
Shikanai-Yasuda,Maria Aparecida; Mendes,Rinaldo Pôncio; Colombo,Arnaldo Lopes; Queiroz-Telles,Flávio de; Kono,Adriana Satie GonçalvesAbstract Paracoccidioidomycosis is a systemic fungal disease occurring in Latin America that is associated with rural environments and agricultural activities. However, the incidence and prevalence of paracoccidiodomycosis is underestimated because of the lack of compulsory notification. If paracoccidiodomycosis is not diagnosed and treated early and adequately, the endemic fungal infection could result in seri...
Candida species biofilm and Candida albicans ALS3 polymorphisms in clinical iso...
Bruder-Nascimento,Ariane; Camargo,Carlos Henrique; Mondelli,Alessandro Lia; Sugizaki,Maria Fátima; Sadatsune,Terue; Bagagli,EduardoOver the last decades, there have been important changes in the epidemiology of Candida infections. In recent years, Candida species have emerged as important causes of invasive infections mainly among immunocompromised patients. This study analyzed Candida spp. isolates and compared the frequency and biofilm production of different species among the different sources of isolation: blood, urine, vulvovaginal se...
Evaluation of pathogenic fungi occurrence in traumatogenic structures of freshw...
Leme,Fabio Caetano Oliveira; Negreiros,Marcos Mendes de Barros; Koga,Fernando Akira; Bosco,Sandra de Moraes Gimenes; Bagagli,EduardoINTRODUCTION: Fungal infections in human skin, such as sporotrichosis, can occur after fish induced trauma. This work aimed to identify fungi in freshwater fish that are pathogenic to humans. METHODS: Extraction of dental arches from Serrassalmus maculatus (piranha) and Hoplias malabaricus (wolf fish), stings from Pimelodus maculatus (mandis catfish), dorsal fin rays from Plagioscion spp. (corvina) and Tilapia ...
Search for Mycobacterium leprae in wild mammals
Pedrini,Sílvia Cristina Barboza; Rosa,Patrícia Sammarco; Medri,Ísis Meri; Mourão,Guilherme; Bagagli,Eduardo; Lopes,Carlos Alberto de MagalhãesLeprosy is still a worldwide public health problem. Brazil and India show the highest prevalence rates of the disease. Natural infection of armadillos Dasypus novemcinctus with Mycobacterium leprae has been reported in some regions of the United States. Identification of bacilli is difficult, particularly due to its inability to grow in vitro. The use of molecular tools represents a fast and sensitive alternati...
Experimental infections with Paracoccidioides brasiliensis obtained from armadi...
Nishikaku,Angela Satie; Peraçoli,Maria Terezinha S.; Bagagli,Eduardo; Sugizaki,Maria Fátima; Sartori,AlexandrinaParacoccidioides brasiliensis causes paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) that is one of the most prevalent systemic human mycoses in Latin America. Armadillos show a high incidence of PCM infection and could, therefore, be a natural reservoir for this fungus. In this study were compared the virulence profiles of isolates obtained from nine-banded armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus) (PbT1 and PbT4) and isolates from PCM ...
Pythium insidiosum: relato do primeiro caso de infecção humana no Brasil
Marques,Silvio Alencar; Bagagli,Eduardo; Bosco,Sandra M. G.; Camargo,Rosangela M. P.; Marques,Mariangela E. A.A pitiose é causada por microorganismo aquático, fungo-símile, o Pythium insidiosum, patógeno de homens e animais. Observou-se um paciente com úlcera fagedênica no membro inferior, com exame anatomopatológico sugestivo de zigomicose, pouco sensível à terapêutica antifúngica, obtendo-se cura por meio de ampla exérese. A comprovação etiológica resultou de métodos moleculares, com amplificação e seqüenciamento de ...
