Chromoblastomycosis caused by Exophiala spinifera.
We report the second case of chromoblastomycosis caused by Exophiala spinifera; this is the first known case in the United States. Examination of biopsied tissue showed thick-walled, internally septated, chestnut brown muriform cells (sclerotic bodies) within multinucleated giant cells present in the dermis that were characteristic of chromoblastomycosis. The individual cells within the murifor...
متن کاملBiofilm formation of the black yeast-like fungus Exophiala dermatitidis and its susceptibility to antiinfective agents
Various fungi have the ability to colonize surfaces and to form biofilms. Fungal biofilm-associated infections are frequently refractory to targeted treatment because of resistance to antifungal drugs. One fungus that frequently colonises the respiratory tract of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients is the opportunistic black yeast-like fungus Exophiala dermatitidis. We investigated the biofilm-formin...
متن کاملComparative Ecology of Capsular Exophiala Species Causing Disseminated Infection in Humans
Exophiala spinifera and Exophiala dermatitidis (Fungi: Chaetothyriales) are black yeast agents potentially causing disseminated infection in apparently healthy humans. They are the only Exophiala species producing extracellular polysaccharides around yeast cells. In order to gain understanding of eventual differences in intrinsic virulence of the species, their clinical profiles were compared a...
متن کاملExopolysaccharides and capsules in human pathogenic Exophiala species.
The black yeasts Exophiala spinifera and E. dermatitidis produce extracellular slimes, which may be either in the form of a well-delimited capsule or of diffusely exuded exopolysaccharides (EPS). The optimal conditions for their production were studied. The presence or absence of polysaccharide material can be used for recognition of the two species. Five-day-old cultures grown on potato glucos...
متن کاملProtein functional analysis data in support of comparative proteomics of the pathogenic black yeast Exophiala dermatitidis under different temperature conditions.
In the current study a comparative proteomic approach was used to investigate the response of the human pathogen black yeast Exophiala dermatitidis toward temperature treatment. Protein functional analysis - based on cellular process GO terms - was performed on the 32 temperature-responsive identified proteins. The bioinformatics analyses and data presented here provided novel insights into the...
