Restriction endonuclease analysis of Penicillium marneffei.
Forty-six isolates of Penicillium marneffei were differentiated into two DNA types on the basis of their restriction fragment length polymorphisms. Of the 22 human isolates of P. marneffei, 16 (72.7%) were type I and 6 (27.3%) were type II. Of the 23 bamboo rat isolates, 20 from Rhizomys sumatrensis were type I and 3 from Cannomys badius were type II. The soil isolate was type II. These data re...
متن کاملPenicillium Marneffei - Aids Defining Illness Penicillium Marneffei – Aids, Definicja Choroby
Background: Penicillium marneffei infection is the emerging fungal infection in the present day global scenario of HIV pandemic. P. marneffei is a dimorphic fungi with mycelial growth at 37C. Suspicion of P.marneffei infection arises when a immunocompromised individuals especially HIV positive persons present with Molluscum contagiosum like skin lesions. But pulmonary manifestations are not cha...
متن کاملPenicillium marneffei Infection in AIDS
Penicillium marneffei is a dimorphic fungus which is endemic in Southeast Asia. It is an opportunistic pathogen which has emerged to become an AIDS-defining illness in the endemic areas. Early diagnosis with prompt initiation of treatment is crucial for its management. Prompt diagnosis can often be established through careful cytological and histological examination of clinical specimens althou...
متن کاملAnalysis of polymorphic microsatellite markers for typing Penicillium marneffei isolates.
Penicillium marneffei is an emerging opportunistic dimorphic fungal pathogen that is endemic in Southeast Asia. A typing method based on the analysis of size polymorphisms in microsatellite loci was investigated. Three loci available from the GenBank database were identified to harbor microsatellites. PCR primers flanking the microsatellite repeats were designed with one primer in the set fluor...
متن کاملInsights into the pathogenicity of Penicillium marneffei.
Penicillium marneffei is a significant pathogen of AIDS patients in Southeast Asia. This fungus is unique in that it is the only dimorphic member of the genus. Pathogenesis of P. marneffei requires the saprobic mold form to undergo a morphological change upon tissue invasion. The in vivo form of this fungus reproduces as a fission yeast that capably evades the host immune system. The processes ...
