Easy storage strategies for sporothrix spp. strains
Brilhante, Raimunda Sâmia Nogueira; Silva, Natalya Fechine; Lima, Rita Amanda Chaves de; Caetano, Érica Pacheco; Alencar, Lucas Pereira deThe 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...
Estratégias de estocagem de sporothrix spp. e análise da sensibilidade das cepa...
Silva, Natalya FechineSporotrichosis is a subcutaneous mycosis that affects humans and animals caused by the dimorphic fungi of the genus Sporothrix. The storage of such microorganisms in culture collections is necessary to monitor the strains of Sporothrix spp. over the years. Despite the existence of effective antifungal therapies against this disease the search for new drugs for the treatment is necessary. Compounds such as farne...
