Draft Genome Sequence of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, an Emergent Opportunistic Pathogen
Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, a yeast with valuable biotechnological features, has also been recorded as an emergent opportunistic pathogen that might cause disease in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised individuals. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of R. mucilaginosa strain C2.5t1, which was isolated from cacao seeds in Cameroon.
متن کاملDoes PTEN gene mutation play any role in Li-Fraumeni syndrome?
Background: Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is one of the most serious hereditary cancer syndromes with a high risk of malignancy in childhood. This syndrome is an autosomal dominant cancer predisposing syndrome due to a germline mutation in the TP53 tumor suppressor gene. Methods: In this study, a representative family case of Li-Fraumeni syndrome is described. The proband of this family ...
متن کاملCatheter-Associated Rhodotorula mucilaginosa Fungemia in an Immunocompetent Host
Rhodotorula species live in the environment, but can also colonize human epithelium, as well as respiratory, and gastrointestinal tracts. Reports of infection, especially in the past 2 decades, have noted increasing numbers of Rhodotorula infections, particularly in immunocompromised hosts, leading it to be considered emerging opportunistic pathogen. The major risk factors for infection were pr...
متن کاملEndocarditis caused by Rhodotorula infection.
Rhodotorula is an emerging opportunistic fungal pathogen that is rarely reported to cause endocarditis. We describe a case involving a patient who developed endocarditis due to Rhodotorula mucilaginosa and Staphylococcus epidermidis, proven by culture and histopathology. The case illustrates the unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges relevant to Rhodotorula spp.
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.
