Isolation and molecular characterization of Cryptococcus species isolated from pigeon nests and Eucalyptus trees
Background and Purpose: Cryptococcus species are pathogenic and non-pathogenic basidiomycete yeasts that are found widely in the environment. Based on phenotypic methods, this genus has many species; however, its taxonomy is presently being re- evaluated by modern techniques. The Cryptococcus species complex includes two sibling taxa of Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii. We aimed ...
متن کاملEffect of gentamicin sulphate on avirulent and virulent Treponema pallidum.
The bactericidal activity of the aminoglycoside gentamicin has been demonstrated against a broad spectrum of bacteria (Jackson and Finland, 1969). This spectrum included Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Waitz and Weinstein, 1969); however, before gentamicin is used for the treatment of gonorrhoea, its effect on Treponema pallidum should be investigated to determine whether it can delay or mask the develo...
متن کاملCharacteristics of virulent, attenuated, and avirulent Mycoplasma pneumoniae strains.
Homologous pairs of virulent and attenuated or avirulent Mycoplasma pneumoniae strains were derived and compared in an effort to elucidate the mechanisms of virulence. These related strains were found to vary in growth, glycolysis, protein electrophoretic patterns, peroxide formation, morphology, and cytadsorption. Variations in the last two characteristics closely correlated with avirulence. T...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of plasmids from virulent and spontaneously occurring avirulent colonial variants of Shigella flexneri.
Spontaneous transition of Shigella flexneri from T- to O-type colonies with concomitant loss of virulence dose not appear to be accompanied by a change in any of the four plasmic species found in the virulent parent.
متن کاملExtracellular DNase activity of Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii.
Extracellular DNase activity was studied in 73 strains of Cryptococcus neoformans and 12 strains of Cryptococcus gattii. DNase activity was measured by DNase agar clearance with and without Methyl Green. All strains tested showed extracellular DNase activity and no significant difference was found betweenC. neoformans and C. gattii strains. DNase production was higher in strains from clinical o...
