چکیده
Sporothrix schenckii isolates from China, Korea and Spain were investigated for mtDNA types based on restriction fragment length polymorphism patterns with HaeIII. Sixty-one isolates from China, 8 from Korea and 11 from Spain were comprised of 7, 2 and 2 mtDNA types, respectively. All the isolates belonged to Group B.

RFLP analysis of the internal transcribed spacer regions of Sporothrix schenckii.
Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis was performed on the internal transcribed spacer regions of 204 Sporothrix schenckii isolates and on one strain each of the related fungi, S. schenckii var. luriei, S. curviconia, S. inflata and Ceratocystis stenoceras. S. schenckii isolates, which have been collected from around the world, have already been typed according to their mitoc...
متن کاملRapid identification of Sporothrix schenckii in biopsy tissue by PCR.
BACKGROUND The dimorphic fungus Sporothrix schenckii is the etiological agent of sporotrichosis, an important cutaneous mycosis with a worldwide distribution. At present, it is challenging to rapidly discover and identify Sporothrix schenckii in biopsy tissues nowadays. AIMS To explore new methods for rapid diagnosis of sporotrichosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We screened specific primers for ...
متن کاملMolecular characterisation of Sporothrix schenckii isolates from humans and cats involved in the sporotrichosis epidemic in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
An epidemic of sporotrichosis, a subcutaneous mycosis caused by the fungus Sporothrix schenckii, is ongoing in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in which cases of human infection are related to exposure to cats. In an attempt to demonstrate the zoonotic character of this epidemic using molecular methodology, we characterised by DNA-based typing methods 19 human and 25 animal S. schenckii isolates from th...
متن کاملΔ24-Sterol Methyltransferase Plays an Important Role in the Growth and Development of Sporothrix schenckii and Sporothrix brasiliensis
Inhibition of Δ(24)-sterol methyltransferase (24-SMT) in Sporothrix schenckii sensu stricto and Sporothrix brasiliensis was investigated in vitro. The effects on fungal growth and sterol composition of the 24-SMT inhibitor 22-hydrazone-imidazolin-2-yl-chol-5-ene-3β-ol (H3) were compared to those of itraconazole. MIC and MFC analysis showed that H3 was more effective than itraconazole against bo...
متن کاملMacrorestriction analysis of clinical and environmental isolates of Sporothrix schenckii.
Sporothrix schenckii causes sporotrichosis, a disease that most commonly presents as a subacute or chronic skin infection. An unusually high incidence of clinical cases of sporotrichosis occurred in the southwest of Western Australia over the last 5 years. Anecdotal accounts from patients implicated contact with hay prior to infection. Isolates of S. schenckii from hay and clinical cases were i...
