Genome Sequence of the Pathogenic Fungus Sporothrix schenckii (ATCC 58251)
Sporothrix schenckii is a pathogenic dimorphic fungus that grows as a yeast and as mycelia. This species is the causative agent of sporotrichosis, typically a skin infection. We report the genome sequence of S. schenckii, which will facilitate the study of this fungus and of the Sporothrix schenckii group.
متن کاملRefractory Subcutaneous Abscesses Caused by Sporothrix Schenckii. a New Pathogenic Fungus
In the Bulletin of the Johns Hopkins Hospital for December, 1898, there appeared an article by B. R. Schenck " On Refractory Subcutaneous Abscesses caused by a Fungns possibly related to the Sporotrieha." "The primary point of infection was on the index finger, whence it extended up the radial side of the arm, following the lymph channels, and giving rise to several circumscribed indurations, w...

متن کاملSporothrix schenckii and Sporotrichosis.
Sporotrichosis, which is caused by the dimorphic fungus Sporothrix schenckii, is currently distributed throughout the world, especially in tropical and subtropical zones. Infection generally occurs by traumatic inoculation of soil, plants, and organic matter contaminated with the fungus. Certain leisure and occupational activities, such as floriculture, agriculture, mining, and wood exploitatio...
متن کاملSporothrix schenckii Cell Wall Peptidorhamnomannans
This mini-review article is dedicated to clarifying certain important biochemical aspects of Sporothrixschenckii cell wall peptidorhamnomannans. Cell wall components involved in the host interaction such as antigens as well as a gp70 adhesin are important molecules present on the surface of the yeast parasitic phase. Other structural glycoconjugates present on the fungus cell surface are also d...
