Comparison of the utility of five commercial kits for extraction of DNA from Aspergillus fumigatus spores.
The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of DNA extraction from water as well as from blood samples spiked with A. fumigatus spores, using selected commercial kits. Extraction of DNA according to manufacturer's protocols was preceded by blood cells lysis and disruption of fungal cells by enzymatic digestion or bead beating. The efficiency of DNA extraction was measured by PCR using A...

Introduction:The infections resulting from opportunist invasive fungi,such as Aspergillus,are an increasingly developing problem in haspitalized patients especially those suffering from immunosuppressive deficiencies. Method:In this study,air sampling from selected wards of three hospitals affiliated to Kerman University of Medical Sciences was carried out 2 times/day over 7 months (May-Oct...
متن کاملDry grinding at near-ambient temperatures for extracting DNA from rust and other fungal spores.
Methods for extracting PCR-amplifiable DNA from the spores of rusts and other plant pathogenic, obligately parasitic fungi are hindered by small cell size and thick spore walls that make uniform disruption or digestion difficult and by the abundant pigments, oils, protein, and RNA that can interfere with the subsequent purification and PCR amplification (6,14). For some rusts for which abundant...
متن کاملEffects of disinfectant fogging procedure on dust, ammonia concentration, aerobic bacteria and fungal spores in a farrowing-weaning room.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE In the last decades, large-scale swine production has led to intensive rearing systems in which air quality can be easily degraded by aerial contaminants that can pose a health risk to the pigs and farm workers. This study evaluated the effects of fogging disinfectant procedure on productive performance, ammonia and dust concentration, aerobic bacteria and fungal spor...
متن کاملTargeted Disruption of Melanin Biosynthesis Genes in the Human Pathogenic Fungus Lomentospora prolificans and Its Consequences for Pathogen Survival.
The dematiaceous (melanised) fungus Lomentospora (Scedosporium) prolificans is a life-threatening opportunistic pathogen of immunocompromised humans, resistant to anti-fungal drugs. Melanin has been shown to protect human pathogenic fungi against antifungal drugs, oxidative killing and environmental stresses. To determine the protective role of melanin in L. prolificans to oxidative killing (H₂...
