Allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis due to fungi other than Aspergillus: a global overview.
Allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPM) is a hypersensitivity-mediated disease of worldwide distribution. We reviewed 143 reported global cases of ABPM due to fungi other than aspergilli. The commonest etiologic agent was Candida albicans, reported in 60% of the cases, followed by Bipolaris species (13%), Schizophyllum commune (11%), Curvularia species (8%), Pseudallescheria boydii species com...
متن کاملEmerging infections due to filamentous fungi in humans and animals: only the tip of the iceberg?
Over the last few decades, the number of patients susceptible to invasive filamentous fungal infections has steadily increased, especially in populations suffering from hematological diseases. The pathogens responsible for such mycoses are now quite well characterized, such as Aspergillus spp. - the most commonly isolated mold -, Mucorales, Fusarium spp., Scedosporium spp. or melanized fungi. A...
متن کاملAnticancer and antifungal compounds from Aspergillus, Penicillium and other filamentous fungi.
This review covers important anticancer and antifungal compounds reported from filamentous fungi and in particular from Aspergillus, Penicillium and Talaromyces. The taxonomy of these fungi is not trivial, so a focus of this review has been to report the correct identity of the producing organisms based on substantial previous in-house chemotaxonomic studies.
متن کاملOsteoarticular Infections Caused by Non-Aspergillus Filamentous Fungi in Adult and Pediatric Patients
Osteoarticular mycoses due to non-Aspergillus moulds are uncommon and challenging infections. A systematic literature review of non-Aspergillus osteoarticular mycoses was performed using PUBMED and EMBASE databases from 1970 to 2013. Among 145 patients were 111 adults (median age 48.5 [16-92 y]) and 34 pediatric patients (median age 7.5 [3-15 y]); 114 (79.7%) were male and 88 (61.9%) were immun...
متن کاملBiotransformation of Progesterone by Whole Cells of Filamentous Fungi Aspergillus brasiliensis
Microbial steroid biotransformation have found wide-reaching application for the production of more precious and functionalized compounds due to their high regio-and stereoselectivity. In this study, the possibility of using filamentous fungi Aspergillus brasiliensis cells in the biotransformation of progesterone (I), a C-21 steroid hormone was studied for the first time.The fungal strain was i...
