In Colombia, knowledge of the yeast and yeast-like fungi community is limited because most studies have focused on species with clinical importance. Sediments and water represent important habitats for the study of yeast diversity, especially for yeast species with industrial, biotechnological, and bioremediation potential. The main purpose of this study was to identify and compare the diversit...

BACKGROUND Superficial fungal infections are caused by dermatophytes, yeasts or filamentous fungi. They are correlated to the etiologic agent, the level of integrity of the host immune response, the site of the lesion and also the injured tissue. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to isolate and to identify onychomycosis agents in institutionalized elderly (60 years old +). METHODS The ...

INTRODUCTION Trichosporon species are basidiomycetous yeastlike anamorphic organisms that are widely distributed in nature and found predominantly in tropical and temperate areas. In humans, this fungal species is occasionally part of the commensal flora of skin and mucosa, and can be responsible for superficial skin and hair infections (white piedra) or, more rarely, invasive infections in imm...

The frequency of fungal infections have increased recently in parallel to prolonged survival of patients with chronical infections, common use of the broad-spectrum antibiotics and cytotoxic drugs and surgical interventions. Fungi such as Trichosporon, Fusarium and Geotrichum that were previously evaluated as contaminant/colonization, become important causes of morbidity and mortality especiall...

In Manipur state of North-Eastern India, wine from glutinous rice using traditional solid state starter called 'Hamei' is particularly interesting because of its unique flavour. A total of 163 yeast isolates were obtained from fifty four 'Hamei' samples collected from household rice wine preparations in tribal villages of Manipur. Molecular identification of yeast species was carried out by ana...

White piedra is a superficial mycosis caused by Trichosporon spp. that affects the hair shaft of any part of the body. It is presented an outbreak of scalp white piedra seen in 5.8% of the children frequenting a day care in Northeastern of São Paulo State, Brazil. Mycological exam and culture identified T. cutaneum in all five cases, and scanning electron microscopy of nodules around hair shaft...

This work involves a review of the genus Cyrtopsis, including description of 1 new species, Cyrtopsis furcicerca sp. nov., (originally considered as male and female variants of Cyrtopsis t-sigillata by Song et al. 2015) and a new combination, Cyrtopsis bivittata (Mu, He & Wang, 2000) comb. nov., based on males of the latter and Cyrtopsis t-sigillata. The other species of the genus are keyed and...

Background. Trichosporon asahii is an opportunistic fungus that causes infections in immunosuppressed patients. Neutropenia developing due to malignancies is an important risk factor for fungal infection. Case Report. We present two pediatric oncology cases successfully treated with voriconazole after T. asahii infection that is known to cause fatal sepsis and invasive fungal infection. Conclus...

In 1987, C. Sabbah proved the existence of Bernstein-Sato polynomials associated with several analytic functions. The purpose of this article is to give a more elementary and constructive proof of the result of C. Sabbah based on the notion of the analytic Gröbner fan of a D-module.
