Hydroxamate siderophores of Histoplasma capsulatum.
The zoopathogenic fungus Histoplasma capsulatum, like other eukaryotic aerobic microorganisms, requires iron for growth. Under conditions of low iron availability, the fungus secretes hydroxamates that function as siderophores (iron chelators). The experiments to be reported were designed to gather further information on the hydroxamate siderophores of H. capsulatum. The fungus was grown in a s...
متن کاملIntracellular Behavior of Histoplasma Capsulatum.
Howard, Dexter H. (University of California, Los Angeles). Intracellular behavior of Histoplasma capsulatum. J. Bacteriol. 87:33-38. 1964.-The tinctorial characteristics and intracellular generation time of Histoplasma capsulatum within mouse histiocytes maintained in tissue culture were studied. The appearance of viable and nonviable cells of H. capsulatum was observed after staining with the ...
متن کاملHistoplasma capsulatum Endocarditis
Infective endocarditis is an uncommon manifestation of infection with Histoplasma capsulatum. The diagnosis is frequently missed, and outcomes historically have been poor. We present 14 cases of Histoplasma endocarditis seen in the last decade at medical centers throughout the United States. All patients were men, and 10 of the 14 had an infected prosthetic aortic valve. One patient had an infe...
متن کاملFluorescent staining of Histoplasma capsulatum.
In an earlier paper from this laboratory (Gordon, 1958) it was demonstrated that fluorescein-labeled specific antiserum employed as a cellular stain will differentiate Candida albicans and Candida tropicalis from other yeasts and yeastlike organisms, including the remaining members of the genus Candida. The present report describes the preparation and use of a similar reagent for detection and ...
متن کاملSurface Architecture of Histoplasma Capsulatum
The dimorphic fungal pathogen Histoplasma capsulatum is the most frequent cause of clinically significant fungal pneumonia in humans. H. capsulatum virulence is achieved, in part, through diverse and dynamic alterations to the fungal cell surface. Surface components associated with H. capsulatum pathogenicity include carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and melanins. Here, we describe the various s...
