Synergistic interaction in simultaneous exposure to Streptomyces californicus and Stachybotrys chartarum.
The microbial exposure associated with health complaints in moldy houses consists of a heterogeneous group of components, including both living and dead bacteria, fungi, and their metabolites and active compounds. However, little is known about the interactions between different microbes and their metabolites, although the cytotoxicity and inflammatory potential of certain individual microbes h...
متن کاملImmunotoxic Responses Induced by Streptomyces californicus and Stachybotrys chartarum – The Role of Microbial Interactions
Adverse health effects have been associated with dampness and microbial exposure in buildings, but the possible pathophysiological mechanisms behind these effects are still poorly understood. Although previous studies have shown that certain microbes and microbial components have clear inflammatory and cytotoxic potentials, the complex mixture of microbial species, their spores, metabolites and...
متن کاملCryptic species in Stachybotrys chartarum.
Stachybotrys chartarum has received much attention as a possible cause of sick-building syndrome. Because morphological species recognition in fungi can hide diversity, we applied a phylogenetic approach to search for cryptic species. We examined 23 isolates from the San Francisco Bay Area, and another seven from around the US. Using markers we developed for three polymorphic protein coding loc...
متن کاملThe Pathogenicity of Stachybotrys chartarum.
Stachybotrys chartarum is a dematiaceous fungus that is ubiquitous in our living environment. This fungus has long been regarded as non-pathogenic and its inhalation effect on humans has been scarcely studied. Recently, however, epidemiologic studies on acute idiopathic pulmonary hemorrhage in infants suggested that the fungus might be potentially pathogenic to humans. To determine the pathogen...
متن کاملBuilding-associated pulmonary disease from exposure to Stachybotrys chartarum and Aspergillus versicolor.
The authors present an outbreak of disease associated with exposure to Stachybotrys chartarum and Aspergillus species. A courthouse and two associated office buildings had generated discomfort among employees for two years since initial occupancy. Multiple interventions had been unsuccessful An initial evaluation of 14 individuals identified three with potential asthma and three with symptoms c...
