متن کاملAtypical forms of Cryptococcus neoformans in CSF of an AIDS patient.
The microscopic recognition of typical rounded capsulated yeasts in centrifuged cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), stained with India ink, is a common, rapid and effective method for the diagnosis of cryptococcal meningitis among AIDS patients. The presence of atypical forms of Cryptococcus neoformans var. neoformans in samples of CSF of an AIDS patient with cryptococcosis treated at the University Hos...
متن کاملVisualization of the exopolysaccharide bacterial capsule and its distribution in oceanic environments
In an attempt to visualize the polysaccharide capsule of bacterioplankton in a more economic way than transmission electron microscopy offers, we modified a light microscopy method. By using a negative staining technique, bacterial capsules >150 nm in dimension can be enumerated. This method was used to determine the contribution of capsulated bacteria to the total bacterial community in 3 diff...
متن کاملCapsular hyaluronic acid-mediated adhesion of Pasteurella multocida to turkey air sac macrophages.
Serogroup A strains of Pasteurella multocida, the major cause of fowl cholera, are resistant to phagocytosis in nonimmunized birds. Adherence studies with a capsulated strain of P. multocida (serotype A:3) and turkey air sac macrophages in culture showed that the bacteria were capable of adhering in large numbers to the macrophages but were not internalized. A noncapsulated variant of the bacte...
متن کاملFoot bleb infection due to Rhodotorula mucilaginosa in a diabetic patient: Case report and review of the literature
Rhodotorula spp. are capsulated, pigmented, ubiquitous basidiomycetous yeasts causing different superficial and deep-seated opportunistic infections in the debilitated and immunocompromised patient. Earlier considered as saprophytes, fungi belonging to this genus are now considered as emerging pathogens. This is a report of foot bleb infection due to Rhodotorula mucilaginosa in a diabetic patient.
