Molecular identification of pathogenic fungi.
Systemic fungal infections represent a major cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients. The ever-increasing number of yeast species associated with human infections that are not covered by conventional identification kits, and the fact that moulds isolated from deep infections are frequently impossible to identify using classical methods due to lack of sporulation, has driv...
متن کاملMolecular typing of pathogenic fungi.
In this Round Table, the application of several methods of molecular typing were discussed in reference to four important pathogenic fungi: Coccidioides immitis, Histoplasma capsulatum, Candida albicans and Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. Among the different methods the following were discussed: restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP), single nucleotide polymorphisms, random amplified p...

laboratory data processing into a total hospital system. The general conclusion was that at the present time a small dedicated computer under laboratory control is preferable. Brian Bull of Loma Linda University describes the preparation of updated patient summaries by magnetic tape typewriters as an interim measure until computerized data processing is better developed. The second section pres...
متن کاملLaboratory Identification of Pathogenic Fungi Simplified
As stated by the authors, the objective of this monograph is to furnish "an aid to the teaching of the essentials in the identification of the pathogenic fungi to the beginner, and a bench companion for the bacteriologist engaged in mycologic diagnosis." This objective is admirably accomplished. The fungi discussed are limited to the pathogenic fungi encountered in North America, being, with fe...
متن کاملReview of Human Pathogenic Fungi: Molecular Biology and Pathogenic Mechanisms
The complex interplay between host and microbe is especially evident in the pathogenesis of fungal diseases. Certain fungi, like Candida albicans, are commensals whereas others, like Cryptococcus neoformans, are environmental opportunists who have, in part, enhanced their capacity to cause devastating disease through interactions (e.g., a “boot camp”) over the millennia with environmental preda...
