| less-frequent fusarium species of clinical interest: correlation between morphological and molecular identification and antifungal susceptibility. | forty-eight fusarium isolates morphologically identified as belonging to seven species of clinical interest (i.e., fusarium chlamydosporum, fusarium dimerum, fusarium incarnatum, fusarium napiforme, fusarium nygamai, fusarium proliferatum, and fusarium sacchari) were characterized molecularly by the analysis of the sequences of the tub region of the beta-tubulin gene. f. chlamydosporum and f. dimerum were the most genetically heterogeneous species. a high degree of correlation between the morpho ... | 2009 | 19321723 |
| identification of fungal dna in balf from patients with home-related hypersensitivity pneumonitis. | background: in japan, a major type of home-related hypersensitivity pneumonitis (hp) is summer-type hp, which is caused by trichosporon asahii (t. asahii) or trichosporonmucoides. some patients with home-related hp test negative for antibodies against trichosporon; yet, a causative mold antigen cannot be identified. methods: we analyzed 19 patients with home-related hp, 8 healthy volunteers, and 35 patients with other diseases. we extracted dna from cell pellets of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid ( ... | 2011 | 21824758 |
| fusarium napiforme systemic infection: case report with molecular characterization and antifungal susceptibility tests. | during the last decades, fusarium spp. has been reported as a significant cause of disease in humans, especially in immunocompromised patients, who have high risk of invasive life-threatening disease. fusarium species usually reported as cause of human disease are f. solani, f. oxysporum and f. verticillioides. | 2014 | 25210666 |
| dna barcoding, maldi-tof, and aflp data support fusarium ficicrescens as a distinct species within the fusarium fujikuroi species complex. | the fusarium fujikuroi species complex (ffsc) is one of the most common groups of fusaria associated with plant diseases, mycotoxin production and traumatic and disseminated human infections. here we present the description and taxonomy of a new taxon, fusarium ficicrescens sp. nov., collected from contaminated fig fruits in iran. initially this species was identified as fusarium andiyazi by morphology. in the present study the species was studied by multilocus sequence analysis, amplified fragm ... | 2016 | 26781381 |
| comparison of dna microarray, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (lamp) and real-time pcr with dna sequencing for identification of fusarium spp. obtained from patients with hematologic malignancies. | the performance of three molecular biology techniques, i.e., dna microarray, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (lamp), and real-time pcr were compared with dna sequencing for properly identification of 20 isolates of fusarium spp. obtained from blood stream as etiologic agent of invasive infections in patients with hematologic malignancies. dna microarray, lamp and real-time pcr identified 16 (80%) out of 20 samples as fusarium solani species complex (fssc) and four (20%) as fusarium spp. t ... | 2017 | 28324245 |
| in vitro combinations of natamycin with voriconazole, itraconazole and micafungin against clinical fusarium strains causing keratitis. | fusarium species cause a broad spectrum of infections, from superficial to disseminated disease. because fusarium species are intrinsically resistant to most antifungal drugs, new approaches are needed. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the in vitro combination of natamycin with currently used antifungal drugs. | 2016 | 26702918 |
| hypersensitivity pneumonitis caused by fusarium napiforme in a home environment. | we report a case of hypersensitivity pneumonitis (hp) in a 17-year-old male student caused by fusarium napiforme found in his home environment. | 2000 | 11117278 |
| fungi associated with sorghum grain from argentina. | sorghum (sorghum bicolor (l.) moench) is an important cereal produced in and exported from argentina. the risk of contamination by mycotoxins is related to the mycoflora associated with the sorghum grain. this paper reports on the identification of internal mycoflora of sorghum grain harvested in argentina in 1991, 1992 and 1993, years with different total rainfall levels. a mycological survey was carried out on sorghum samples, from a location at the humid argentinian pampa, using a fusarium/de ... | 1997 | 9511235 |
| disseminated hyalohyphomycosis caused by a novel human pathogen, fusarium napiforme. | fusarium species are saprophytic molds and important plant pathogens, although they are increasingly recognized as agents of human mycosis. frequently, the infection is superficial. deep tissue infection may occur as an opportunistic hyalohyphomycosis, and wide dissemination is common in immunocompromised hosts. we describe a novel case of disseminated hyalohyphomycosis caused by f. napiforme in a patient with acute myelogenous leukemia. the clinical manifestations of this infection were similar ... | 1993 | 8314987 |
