| clinical significance of alimentary tract microbes in bone marrow transplant recipients. | a prospective study on the microbes isolated from the alimentary tract in 120 bone marrow transplant (bmt) recipients (1991-1993) was undertaken to define the spectrum of organisms isolated under antimicrobial prophylaxis, their temporal sequence of emergence, and the associated morbidity and mortality. clostridium difficile (n = 20), isolated in the pre-engraftment and early post-engraftment periods (day 2-45 post-bmt), was the most common microbe recovered from stool of patients with diarrhea. ... | 1998 | 9554172 |
| unravelling the microbiome of eggs of the endangered sea turtle eretmochelys imbricata identifies bacteria with activity against the emerging pathogen fusarium falciforme. | habitat bioaugmentation and introduction of protective microbiota have been proposed as potential conservation strategies to rescue endangered mammals and amphibians from emerging diseases. for both strategies, insight into the microbiomes of the endangered species and their habitats is essential. here, we sampled nests of the endangered sea turtle species eretmochelys imbricata that were infected with the fungal pathogen fusarium falciforme. metagenomic analysis of the bacterial communities ass ... | 2014 | 24743166 |

| acremonium falciforme as a cause of mycetoma in california. | three cases of mycetoma were studied in the san francisco bay area of northern california during the period from 1960 to 1973. in each case the causal agent was identified on the basis of the histological structure of the granules and by isolation of the etiological agent in pure culture. the fungus in all cases was found to be acremonium falciforme. this is the first report of a. falciforme occurring as a disease agent in the united states. | 1976 | 996696 |
| cedrol, a malaria mosquito oviposition attractant is produced by fungi isolated from rhizomes of the grass cyperus rotundus. | cedrol, a sesquiterpene alcohol, is the first identified oviposition attractant for african malaria vectors. finding the natural source of this compound might help to elucidate why anopheles gambiae and anopheles arabiensis prefer to lay eggs in habitats containing it. previous studies suggest that cedrol may be a fungal metabolite and the essential oil of grass rhizomes have been described to contain a high amount of different sesquiterpenes. | 2016 | 27639972 |

| efficiency of blood culture bottles for the fungal sterility testing of corneal organ culture media. | the consequences of fungal contamination of an organ cultured cornea, though exceptional, are often disastrous for the recipient. consequently, eye banks often quarantine corneas for 10 days or more before passing them for grafting. this period, though detrimental to the endothelial cell density of the delivered cornea, is necessary to detect contamination using conventional microbiological methods. the authors previously validated the use of a pair of aerobic and anaerobic blood bottles for sen ... | 2005 | 15834090 |
| recurrent colonization of successively implanted tracheoesophageal vocal prostheses by a member of the fusarium solani species complex. | tracheoesophageal vocal prostheses (tvp) in laryngectomized patients commonly deteriorate due to overgrowth by yeasts, particularly candida species. we describe the first case of colonization of such devices by a member of the fusarium solani species complex in a patient with a history of glottal carcinoma. three isolates, from three prostheses, were found morphologically consistent with the traditional picture of f. solani. ribosomal sequence analysis showed that the isolates belonged to a dist ... | 2005 | 15695678 |
| analysis of phylogenetic relationship of cylindrocarpon lichenicola and acremonium falciforme to the fusarium solani species complex and a review of similarities in the spectrum of opportunistic infections caused by these fungi. | an emerging pattern of similarity in medical case reports led to a project to compare the phylogenetic affinities of two well-known tropical fungal opportunistic pathogens, cylindrocarpon lichenicola and acremonium falciforme, to members of the fusarium solani species complex. c. lichenicola and a. falciforme, despite their deviating conidial morphologies, were shown via sequencing of the ribosomal large subunit to be well instituted within a clade mainly consisting of typical f. solani strains ... | 2002 | 12149344 |

| 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 |
| multilocus phylogeny reveals an association of agriculturally important fusarium solani species complex (fssc) 11, and clinically important fssc 5 and fssc 3 + 4 with soybean roots in the north central united states. | the fusarium solani species complex (fssc) includes important root pathogens of soybean in the united states, but the evolutionary lineages associated with soybean root rot are unknown. a multilocus phylogeny based on 93 isolates from soybean and pea roots from north dakota and minnesota revealed that root rot was associated with three known phylogenetic species, fssc 3 + 4 (=fusarium falciforme) (3 % of isolates), fssc 5 (60 %), fssc 11 (34 %), and one unknown species, fssc x (2 %). of these sp ... | 2016 | 26671414 |

| morphological and phylogenetic analysis of fusarium solani species complex in malaysia. | members of fusarium solani species complex (fssc) have been known as plant, animal, and human pathogens. nevertheless, the taxonomic status of such an important group of fungi is still very confusing and many new species as well as lineages have been elucidated recently. unfortunately, most of the new taxa came from temperate and subtropical regions. therefore, the objectives of the present study were to identify strains of fssc recovered from different sources in malaysia. in the present study, ... | 2015 | 25238930 |
| molecular phylogenetic and pathogenetic characterization of fusarium solani species complex (fssc), the cause of dry rot on potato in iran. | members of fusarium solani species complex (fssc) are common pathogens of potato, causing dry rot in the west of iran which involved hamedan, kermanshah, eilam and kurdistan provinces. therefore, the objectives in this study were to isolate and identify disease-causing fssc from infected potato tubers based on the morphological and molecular characteristics. forty-five isolates of fusarium were obtained from potato tubers collected from the wet market in different regions of the west of iran and ... | 2014 | 24530481 |
| global distribution of two fungal pathogens threatening endangered sea turtles. | nascent fungal infections are currently considered as one of the main threats for biodiversity and ecosystem health, and have driven several animal species into critical risk of extinction. sea turtles are one of the most endangered groups of animals and only seven species have survived to date. here, we described two pathogenic species, i.e., fusarium falciforme and fusarium keratoplasticum, that are globally distributed in major turtle nesting areas for six sea turtle species and that are impl ... | 2014 | 24465748 |

| fusarium falciforme vertebral abscess and osteomyelitis: case report and molecular classification. | fusarium is a ubiquitous mold that can cause superficial infections such as keratitis and onychomycosis in immunocompetent humans; however, infections in immunocompromised hosts can be fatal. we report an unusual case of epidural abscess and vertebral osteomyelitis in a patient with an autoimmune disorder who was on long-term glucocorticoids. multilocus dna sequence-based typing revealed that the infection was caused by a novel three-locus haplotype of fusarium falciforme designated fssc 3+4qqq. | 2011 | 21450957 |
| influence of ethylene produced by soil microorganisms on etiolated pea seedlings. | there is indirect evidence that soil microorganisms producing ethylene (c(2)h(4)) can influence plant growth and development, but unequivocal proof is lacking in the literature. a laboratory study was conducted to demonstrate the validity of this speculation. four experiments were carried out to observe the characteristic "triple" response of etiolated pea seedlings to c(2)h(4) microbially derived from l-methionine as a substrate in the presence or absence of ag(i), a potent inhibitor of c(2)h(4 ... | 1988 | 16347775 |
