| gibberella musae (fusarium musae) sp. nov., a recently discovered species from banana is sister to f. verticillioides. | several strains of fusarium isolated from banana were identified previously as f. verticillioides (sacc.) nirenberg but described as unable to produce fumonisin. here we report biochemical and morphological evidence, as well as multilocus phylogenetic analyses based on elongation factor (ef-1α), calmodulin, β-tubulin, and the second largest subunit of rna polymerase ii (rpb2) sequences, indicating that these isolates represent a unique lineage in the gibberella fujikuroi species complex related ... | 2010 | 21177490 |
| fusarium musae infected banana fruits as potential source of human fusariosis: may occur more frequently than we might think and hypotheses about infection. | the banana fruit infecting fungus fusarium musae was originally known as a distinct population within fusarium verticillioides. however, recently, fusarium musae was installed as a separate species and the first cases of human infection associated with fusarium musae were found. in this article, we report an additional survey indicating that human pathogenic fusarium musae infections may occur more frequently than we might think. moreover, we evaluate the hypotheses on how infection can be acqui ... | 2017 | 27195070 |
| fusarium musae as cause of superficial and deep-seated human infections. | blast analysis in genbank of 60 fusarium verticillioides clinical isolates using the sequence of translation elongation factor 1-alpha allowed the identification of four f. musae confirming that this species is not a rare etiology of superficial and deep infections and that its habitat is not restricted to banana fruits. | 2016 | 27091579 |
| occurrence of fusarium verticillioides and fusarium musae on banana fruits marketed in hungary. | fusarium strains were isolated from rotten banana fruit imported into hungary from some african and some neotropical countries. the strains were identified using morphological features, 2-benzoxazolinone tolerance, translation elongation factor (ef-1α) sequences and inter simple sequence repeat (issr) analysis. all strains from africa proved to be f. verticillioides whereas the strains from the neotropics are fusarium musae. according to the pcr proof and the fumonisin toxin measurement f. musae ... | 2015 | 26132832 |
| banana infecting fungus, fusarium musae, is also an opportunistic human pathogen: are bananas potential carriers and source of fusariosis? | during re-identification of fusarium strains in the bccm™/ihem fungal collection by multilocus sequence-analysis we observed that five strains, previously identified as fusarium verticillioides, were fusarium musae, a species described in 2011 from banana fruits. four strains were isolated from blood samples or biopsies of immune-suppressed patients and one was isolated from the clinical environment, all originating from different hospitals in belgium or france, 2001-2008. the f. musae identity ... | 2015 | 25361833 |
