Multicenter and international study of MIC/MEC distributions for definition of ...

Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) conditions for testing the susceptibilities of pathogenic Sporothrix species to antifungal agents are based on a collaborative study that evaluated five clinically relevant isolates of Sporothrix schenckii sensu lato and some antifungal agents. With the advent of molecular identification, there are two basic needs: to confirm the suitability of these testing co...

Phylogenetic analysis reveals a high prevalence of Sporothrix brasiliensis in f...

Sporothrix schenckii, previously assumed to be the sole agent of human and animal sporotrichosis, is in fact a species complex. Recently recognized taxa include S. brasiliensis, S. globosa, S. mexicana, and S. luriei, in addition to S. schenckii sensu stricto. Over the last decades, large epidemics of sporotrichosis occurred in Brazil due to zoonotic transmission, and cats were pointed out as key susceptible ho...

Antiretroviral drugs saquinavir and ritonavir reduce inhibitory concentration v...

Recent studies have shown that some drugs that are not routinely used to treat fungalinfections have antifungal activity, such as protease inhibitor antiretroviral drugs. This studyinvestigated the in vitro susceptibility of Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum to saquinavirand ritonavir, and its combination with the antifungal itraconazole. The susceptibility assaywas performed according to Clinical and Labo...

In vitro inhibitory activity of terpenic derivatives against clinical and envir...

Sporotrichosis is a subacute or chronic subcutaneous infection, caused by the fungus Sporothrix schenkii complex, occurring in human and animal tissues. Potassium iodide and itraconazole have been used as effective therapy for first-choice treatment, while am- photericin B may be indicated for disseminated infection. However, the adverse effects of potassium iodide and amphotericin B or the long duration of the...

Coccidioidomycosis and histoplasmosis in equines : an overview to support the a...

Fungal infections of the respiratory tract of horses are not as frequent as those of bacterial and viral origin, often leading to worsening of clinical conditions due to misdiagnosis and incorrect treatment. Coccidioidomycosis and histoplasmosis are systemic mycoses caused by the dimorphic fungi Coccidioides spp. and Histoplasma capsulatum, respectively, which affect humans and a variety of other animals, inclu...

Easy storage strategies for sporothrix spp. strains

The present study evaluated the maintenance of Sporothrix spp. (6 Sporothrix brasiliensis;6S. schenckii;5 S. mexicana, and 3 S. globosa) in saline at 4 C, and in 10% glycerol plus either 10% lactose or 10% sucrose, at -20 C and -80 C. Viability was assessed after 3, 6, and 9 months of storage, through the recovery of strains on potato dextrose agar and analysis of macro- and micromorphological features. Conidiu...
