| physiological characteristics of environmental isolates of pathogenic dematiaceous fungi. | a total of 39 environmental isolates of pathogenic dematiaceous fungi (fonsecaea pedrosoi: 14 isolates, phialophora verrucosa: 6, cladosporium carrionii: 9, exophiala jeanselmei: 2, ramichloridium subulatum: 6, cladosporium tenuissimum: 1 and phaeoisaria clematidis: 1) were evaluated for their various physiological characteristics including the ability to produce extracellular enzymes. significant physiological characteristics included the ability of isolates of all the species except c. tenuiss ... | 1989 | 2710157 |
| phaeoisaria clematidis as a cause of keratomycosis. | we report the first case of human infection by phaeoisaria clematidis. this fungus caused a corneal ulcer in a brazilian man who had previously suffered an eye injury. diagnosis was established by positive direct examination and repeated cultures. the isolate was clearly resistant in vitro to the six antifungal agents tested. | 2000 | 10835025 |
| potential pathogenicity of cladosporium tennuisimum, phaeoisaria clematidis and ramichloridium subulatum in a mouse model. | the potential pathogenicity of one isolate each of cladosporium tennuisimum, phaeoisaria clematidis and ramichloridium subulatum for mice was investigated by intravenous, intraperitoneal and subcutaneous routes of inoculation with saline and mucin suspensions of the organisms. no mice died during the experimental period. dark nodular lesions were formed in the liver, spleen, kidneys, intestine, stomach, omentum and diaphragm after inoculation through the intravenous and intraperitoneal routes. g ... | 1991 | 1875985 |
