| case of keratitis caused by an uncommon fusarium species. | fusarium polyphialidicum caused a corneal ulcer in a spanish man. diagnosis was established by a histopathological study and repeated cultures. the isolate was clearly resistant in vitro to the antifungal agents tested. this is the first case of human or animal mycosis by this rare fungus. | 2003 | 14662993 |
| use of mass spectrometry to identify clinical fusarium isolates. | fusarium spp. have recently emerged as significant human pathogens. identification of these species is important, both for epidemiological purposes and for patient management, but conventional identification based on morphological traits is hindered by major phenotypic polymorphism. in this study, 62 strains, or isolates, belonging to nine fusarium species were subjected to both molecular identification tef1 gene sequencing and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight (maldi-to ... | 2009 | 19456834 |
| essential oil composition, phytotoxic and antifungal activities of ruta chalepensis l. leaves from high atlas mountains (morocco). | this study aimed at the determination of chemical composition of essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation, and to evaluate their phytotoxic and antifungal activities. leaves of ruta chalepensis l. were collected from the region of tensift al haouz (high atlas mountains) marrakech, morocco. the essential oil (oil yield is 0.56%) was analysed by gc-fid and gc/ms. twenty-two compounds were identified and accounted for 92.4% of the total oil composition. the major components were undecan-2-one (4 ... | 2014 | 25109925 |
