Intracellular 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 کاملMice from Lethal Histoplasma capsulatum Infection
Excessive production of interleukin-4 impairs clearance of the fungal pathogen Histoplasma capsulatum in mice lacking the chemokine receptor CCR2. An increase in the interleukin-4 level is associated with decreased recruitment of dendritic cells to lungs; therefore, we investigated the possibility that these cells influence interleukin-4 production. Adoptive transfer of wild-type or CCR2 / bone...
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...
