isolation of lecythophora mutabilis and wangiella dermatitidis from the fruit eating bat, eidolon helvum. | lecythophora mutabilis was isolated from the lungs of 3 and from the liver of 2 bats, eidolon helvum a fruit eating species. wangiella dermatitidis was recovered from the liver of 2 bats of the same species. the isolates were pathogenic for laboratory mice when injected by subcutaneous, intraperitoneal and intravenous routes. w. dermatitidis was neurotropic in the mice injected intravenously. | 1993 | 8327002 |

high mortality in a large-scale zebrafish colony (brachydanio rerio hamilton & buchanan, 1822) associated with lecythophora mutabilis (van beyma) w. gams & mcginnis. | zebrafish (brachydanio rerio) have become an important model system for studying vertebrate embryonic development and gene function through manipulation of genotype and characterization of resultant phenotypes. an established research zebrafish colony without substantial disease problems for more than 7 years of operation began experiencing appreciable mortalities in november of 1997. young fish (fry), from five to 24 days after hatching, spontaneously developed elongate strands of organic mater ... | 2001 | 11924796 |
septic shock induced by lecythophora mutabilis in a patient with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy. | invasive fungal infection (ifi) caused by lecythophora mutabilis occasionally occurs in patients with impaired host immunity; such patients had eosinophilia at onset, and surviving patients were treated with fungal cell-membrane-targeted drugs. an 18-year-old man with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy accompanied with refractory anaemia and chronic renal failure developed septic shock caused by l. mutabilis, which was detected from a blood culture, and was identified morphologically and geneticall ... | 2009 | 19528157 |
molecular and phenotypic characterization of phialemonium and lecythophora isolates from clinical samples. | several members of the fungal genera phialemonium and lecythophora are occasional agents of severe human and animal infections. these species are difficult to identify, and relatively little is known about their frequency in the clinical setting. the objective of this study was to characterize morphologically and molecularly, on the basis of the analysis of large-subunit ribosomal dna sequences, a set of 68 clinical isolates presumed to belong to these genera. a total of 59 isolates were determi ... | 2011 | 21270235 |
in vitro interactions between histoplasma capsulatum var. duboisii and other fungi. | histoplasma capsulatum var. duboisii has only recently been shown to occur naturally in soil admixed with bat guano in a bat cave. we report our observations on the in vitro interaction of histoplasma capsulatum var. duboisii with other fungi recovered from the same habitat or other sources by employing co-culture technique and by investigating antibiosis between h. capsulatum var. duboisii and other fungi. the range of interactions varied from total overgrowth of histoplasma by aspergillus fumi ... | 1997 | 9476515 |
fungal peritonitis caused by lecythophora mutabilis. | fungal peritonitis caused by lecythophora mutabilis, a mold rarely isolated from humans, is described. a patient on continuous peritoneal dialysis developed clinical, microbiological, and serological evidence for peritonitis due to this fungus. in vitro susceptibility testing of the fungus revealed marked differences in the activities of various antifungal agents. although initially responding to treatment with oral ketoconazole, intraperitoneal miconazole, and catheter replacement, the patient ... | 1985 | 4031032 |

lecythophora mutabilis prosthetic valve endocarditis in a diabetic patient. | while dematiaceous (dark-walled) fungi are ubiquitous in the environment, their involvement in invasive human infections has rarely been reported. however, these organisms have been identified as potential emerging pathogens, particularly among immunocompromised hosts. we describe a diabetic patient with lecythophora mutabilis prosthetic valve endocarditis who was treated surgically, as well as with amphotericin b lipid complex and voriconazole, which were subsequently followed by prolonged vori ... | 2007 | 17654274 |

phialophora mutabilis endocarditis. | this is the first reported case of fungal endocarditis due to vegetative growth of phialophora mutabilis on a prosthetic mitral valve. the patient had rheumatic heart disease with mitral and aortic stenosis. four months after the mitral and aortic valves had been replaced by prostheses the patient developed congestive failure. because of increased left atrial pressure, the mitral prosthesis was replaced. a large matted obstructive fungal vegetation was found on the prosthesis. culture of this ve ... | 1975 | 803342 |

coniochaeta polymorpha, a new species from endotracheal aspirate of a preterm neonate, and transfer of lecythophora species to coniochaeta. | a new species of coniochaeta from endotracheal secretion of a preterm neonate, coniochaeta polymorpha, is described. this anamorphic species is characterized by development of dark brown colonies after 1 week of incubation on culture medium, formation of abundant yeast-like cells and sclerotium-like structures producing discrete, brown, nearly globose phialidic conidiogenous cells and absence of chlamydospores. a combined sequence dataset of the its region, partial lsu rdna, actin and β-tubulin ... | 2013 | 23748934 |
