| phialosimplex, a new anamorphic genus associated with infections in dogs and having phylogenetic affinity to the trichocomaceae. | anamorphic members of the ascomycete family trichocomaceae including aspergillus, penicillium, paecilomyces, geosmithia and sagenomella have been reported from infections in canines. six clinical isolates (five associated with infections in canines and one from a human source) demonstrated simple phialides producing conidia in long chains and were investigated for their potential relationship to sagenomella chlamydospora, a known agent of canine disseminated mycosis. phylogenetic analyses of int ... | 2010 | 20141373 |
| fungal myelitis caused by phialosimplex caninus in an immunosuppressed dog. | a bone marrow infection caused by phialosimplex caninus was diagnosed in a seven-year-old female spayed cocker spaniel that was receiving prednisone for autoimmune hemolytic anemia. histopathologic examination of a bone marrow core biopsy revealed clusters of oval to round yeast-like cells of varying shape and size and occasional irregular hyphae. culture of a bone marrow aspirate sample yielded a mould initially suggestive of paecilomyces inflatus or sagenomella species but later determined to ... | 2011 | 22122265 |
| disclosing a crypt: microbial diversity and degradation activity of the microflora isolated from funeral clothes of cardinal peter pázmány. | a crypt can be considered as a particular environment where different microbial communities contribute to decomposition of organic materials present inside during a long interval of time. the textile remains of the funeral clothes (biretta and tunic) of cardinal pázmány, an important historic figure dead in bratislava the 19th march 1637, conserved in this kind of environment were subjected to microbial investigation. the sampling comprised three different approaches and the use of various kinds ... | 2013 | 23305771 |
| aspergillus atacamensis and a. salisburgensis: two new halophilic species from hypersaline/arid habitats with a phialosimplex-like morphology. | halophilic fungal strains isolated from historical wooden staircase in a salt mine in austria, and from wall biofilm and soil of a cave in the coastal range of the hyperarid atacama desert in chile were characterised and described newly as aspergillus salisburgensis and aspergillus atacamensis. morphological characters including solitary phialides producing solitary conidia and conidia in chains and/or heads suggested affinity to aspergillus subgenus polypaecilum. strains required salt for growt ... | 2017 | 28500388 |
| cytological, microbiological and therapeutic aspects of systemic infection in a dog caused by the fungus phialosimplex caninus. | a seven-year-old immunocompetent dog presenting with lymphadenopathy, mesenteric masses and splenic nodules was diagnosed with phialosimplex caninus infection. cytology of a mesenteric mass aspirate demonstrated few intact cells but numerous variably sized fungal cells and rare hyphal fragments. the identity of the cultured fungus was confirmed by dna sequencing. itraconazole therapy improved clinical signs, but the fungus was reisolated at follow-up. p. caninus systemic infection should be susp ... | 2013 | 24432211 |
