No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-07-01; Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES); This study aimed to identify Candida spp. collected from oral mucosa and maintained in culture collections, correlating the findings with the medical history of patients and comparing with data from the literature over the past five ye...

Comparing the phenotypic, genotypic, and proteomic identification of Trichospor...

Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:49:05Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-12-01; Trichosporon spp. are widely distributed in the nature, comprising species that inhabit different ecological niches and can be found in the water, soil, and body surface of animals and humans. Such microorganisms have been classically associated with superficial infections; however, in the last decades,...

In vitro virulence evaluation of clinical and environmental isolates of dermato...

Dermatophytes are keratinophilic fungi and the causative agent of dermatophytosis in animals and people. In the pathogenesis of this disease, enzymes such as DNase, gelatinase, lipase, keratinase, elastase, and collagenase are highlighted. This work aimed to verify the production of these enzymes by clinical and environmental isolates of dermatophytes. Environmental strains were obtained by the Vanbreuseghem te...

Apiotrichum veenhuisii isolated from a pediatric patient with acute myeloid leu...

Made available in DSpace on 2019-10-04T12:40:28Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2019-08-05; Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP); This is the first report of the yeast Apiotrichum veenhuisii (formerly Trichosporon veenhuisii) causing disease in humans; its virulence and in vitro behavior against antifungals were also studied. The sample was isolated from biopsy fragmen...

Infections Caused by Fusarium Species in Pediatric Cancer Patients and Review o...

Made available in DSpace on 2018-12-11T17:18:37Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2018-03-21; Fusarium species have emerged as responsible for a broad spectrum of infections, including superficial, locally invasive and disseminated ones, especially in the hospital environment. Since there are few reports of invasive and disseminated fusariosis in children, the aim of this study was to report fou...

Phenotypic and genotypic detection of Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis...

The aim of this study was to assess a collection of yeasts to verify the presence of Candida dubliniensis among strains isolated from the oral mucosa of AIDS pediatric patients which were initially characterized as Candida albicans by the traditional phenotypic method, as well as to evaluate the main phenotypic methods used in the discrimination between the two species and confirm the identification through gen...

FUNGEMIA CAUSED BY Candida SPECIES IN A CHILDREN'S PUBLIC HOSPITAL IN THE CITY ...

Candidemia remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the health care environment. The epidemiology of Candida infection is changing, mainly in relation to the number of episodes caused by species C. non-albicans. The overall objective of this study was to evaluate the frequency of yeasts of the genus Candida, in a four-year period, isolated from blood of pediatric patients hospitalized in a public hos...

FIRST REPORT ON Cryptococcus neoformans IN PIGEON EXCRETA FROM PUBLIC AND RESID...

RESUMO A criptococose é micose sistêmica potencialmente grave causada por duas espécies do gênero Cryptococcus que acometem tanto homens como animais: Cryptococcus neoformans e C. gattii. São infecções cosmopolitas e emergentes, resultantes da interação do hospedeiro - humano e animal versus meio ambiente. A proposta deste trabalho foi avaliar a ocorrência de C. neoformans em 122 amostras de excretas secas de p...

Correlation between Etest®, disk diffusion, and microdilution methods for antif...

The correlation between the microdilution (MD), Etest® (ET), and disk diffusion (DD) methods was determined for amphotericin B, itraconazole and fluconazole. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of those antifungal agents was established for a total of 70 Candida spp. isolates from colonization and infection. The species distribution was: Candida albicans (n=27), C. tropicalis (n=17), C. glabrata (n=16), ...
