| species diversity of aspergillus section versicolores in clinical samples and antifungal susceptibility. | aspergillus section versicolores includes species of clinical relevance and many others that have been poorly studied but are occasionally found in clinical samples. the aim of this study was to investigate, using a multilocus phylogenetic approach, the spectrum of species of the section versicolores and to determine their in vitro antifungal susceptibility. the study was based on a set of 77 clinical isolates from different usa medical centres, which had been previously identified as belonging ... | 2016 | 27742099 |
| aspergillus section versicolores: nine new species and multilocus dna sequence based phylogeny. | β-tubulin, calmodulin, internal transcribed spacer and partial lsu-rdna, rna polymerase 2, dna replication licensing factor mcm7, and pre-rrna processing protein tsr1 were amplified and sequenced from numerous isolates belonging to aspergillus sect. versicolor. the isolates were analyzed phylogenetically using the concordance model to establish species boundaries. aspergillus austroafricanus, a. creber, a. cvjetkovicii, a. fructus, a. jensenii, a. puulaauensis, a. subversicolor, a. tennesseensis ... | 2012 | 23155501 |
| search for fungi-specific metabolites of four model drugs in postmortem blood as potential indicators of postmortem fungal metabolism. | fungi colonizing cadavers are capable of drug metabolism and may thus change the metabolite pattern or concentration of drugs in forensic postmortem samples. the purpose of this study was to check for the presence of such changes by searching fungi-specific metabolites of four model drugs (amitriptyline, metoprolol, mirtazapine, and zolpidem) in decomposed postmortem blood samples from 33 cases involving these drugs. after isolation and identification of fungal strains present in the samples, ea ... | 2016 | 27022860 |
| species diversity and cytotoxic potency of airborne sterigmatocystin-producing aspergilli from the section versicolores. | this study presents the distribution and species diversity of sterigmatocystin-producing aspergilli from the section versicolores in the indoor air of apartment-ap, basements-bs and grain mill-gm in croatia, as well as the cytotoxic potency of isolates. the species comprised 0.7-20% of total airborne fungi detected in the ap, 11-55% in the bs, and 0-2% in the gm. based on cam sequences, seven species were identified; dominant were aspergillus jensenii and aspergillus creber, followed by aspergil ... | 2016 | 27100010 |
