| implementation of a pan-genomic approach to investigate holobiont-infecting microbe interaction: a case report of a leukemic patient with invasive mucormycosis. | disease can be conceptualized as the result of interactions between infecting microbe and holobiont, the combination of a host and its microbial communities. it is likely that genomic variation in the host, infecting microbe, and commensal microbiota are key determinants of infectious disease clinical outcomes. however, until recently, simultaneous, multiomic investigation of infecting microbe and holobiont components has rarely been explored. herein, we characterized the infecting microbe, host ... | 2015 | 26556047 |
| hematogenously disseminated skin disease caused by mucor velutinosus in a patient with acute myeloid leukemia. | we report here a case of disseminated skin infection caused by mucor velutinosus, a recently described new species. we believe this to be the first published report of a clinical case of mucormycosis due to m. velutinosus, as well as a rare case of dissemination from a deep site to skin. | 2011 | 21543575 |
| detection of mucor velutinosus in a blood culture after autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation : a pediatric case report. | filamentous fungi were detected in the blood culture of a one-year-old boy after autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. the patient was suspected to have aspergillosis and received micafungin. fungi were isolated on potato dextrose agar medium and incubated at 37℃ for 2-5 days. grayish, cottony colonies formed. a slide culture showed a spherical sporangium at the tips of the sporangiophores. the fungus could have been a zygomycete. the zygomycete was isolated from three blood cul ... | 2014 | 24943207 |
| two new species of mucor from clinical samples. | two new species in the order mucorales, mucor velutinosus and mucor ellipsoideus, isolated from human clinical specimens in the usa, are described and illustrated. the former species is similar to mucor ramosissimus, from which it can be differentiated by its ability to grow at 37°c and produce verrucose sporangiospores. mucor ellipsoideus is also able to grow and sporulate at 37°c like m. indicus, the nearest phylogenetic species in this study, however, the former has narrow ellipsoidal sporang ... | 2011 | 20662633 |
