Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-ray Spectroscopy Applied to Mycelial Phase of Sporothrix Schenckii *
نویسنده
چکیده
Elemental microanalysis as effected under the scanning electron microscope equipped with X -Ray spectrom eters permits the dstection in a sample of ali the elements of M endeleefs classification comprised between Berylium and Uranium. We thought it advisable to apply th is teclm ique to our research on pathogenic fungi in Man. The present paper reports our results on the mychelial phase of Sporothrix schenckii.

Ultrastructural study of the mycelial phase of clinical isolates of Sporothrix schenckii obtained from feline, canine and human cases of sporotrichosis
Using transmission electron microscopy, we studied the presence of melanin and cell wall thickness of clinical isolates of Sporothrix schenckii obtained from cats, dogs and humans as compared to reference strains. We detected differences regarding presence of the melanin among the clinical isolates of S. schenckii and a correlation between presence of melanin and cell wall thickness.
متن کاملSnCl4/nano-sawdust as an Efficient Bio-based Catalyst for the Synthesis of 2-Substituted Benzothiazoles and Benzimidazoles
SnCl4/nano-sawdust was prepared as a carbohydrate-based catalyst containing of tin bearing cellulose units. The catalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The catalyst was applied successfully as a readily available, inexpensive, biodeg...
متن کاملUse of mycelial-phase Sporothrix schenckii exoantigens in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for diagnosis of sporotrichosis by antibody detection.
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for specific antibody detection in serum specimens of patients with sporotrichosis. The assay was made with mycelial-phase Sporothrix schenckii exoantigens and was tested against 90 sera from patients with different clinical forms of sporotrichosis. Potential cross-reactions were analyzed with 72 heterologous sera from patients with par...
متن کاملIn vitro antifungal susceptibilities of Sporothrix schenckii in two growth phases.
We have determined the antifungal susceptibilities of 34 clinical isolates of the dimorphic fungus Sporothrix schenckii to 11 drugs using a microdilution method. In general, the type of growth phase (mycelial or yeast) and the temperature of incubation (30 or 35 degrees C) exerted a significant influence on the MICs.
متن کاملAdamantylidene-substituted alkylphosphocholine TCAN26 is more active against Sporothrix schenckii than miltefosine
Sporotrichosis is the most frequent subcutaneous mycosis in the world and its increasing incidence has led to the search for new therapeutic options for its treatment. In this study, we demonstrated that three structural analogues of miltefosine (TCAN26, TC19, and TC70) showed inhibitory activity against Sporothrix schenckii sensu stricto and that TCAN26 was more active in vitro than miltefosin...
