The role of the fungal community, mycobiota, in health vagina is currently an important area research. emergence new sequencing technologies and advances bioinformatics made possible discovery novel fungi inhabiting this niche. Candida spp. constitutes most group opportunistic pathogenic fungi, being prevalent species vulvovaginal infections. However, such as Rhodotorula spp., Naganishia Malass...

Background and Aim: Yeasts are common contaminants in the cheese industry, which frequently arise from raw milk, surrounding environment, equipment, resulting economic losses addition to health hazards. This study aimed compare antifungal effect of chitosan nano-chitosan as natural preservatives with a commonly used chemical preservative (potassium sorbate) against Rhodotorula mucilaginosa Cand...

Fruit juices are popular drinks as they contain antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that are essential for human being and play important role in the prevention of heart diseases, cancer, and diabetes. They contain essential nutrients which support the growth of acid tolerant bacteria, yeasts, and moulds. In the present study, we have conducted a microbiological examination of freshly prepared...

Antibacterial and antifungal activity was investigated for strains of Acidovorax spp., Burkholderia spp., Herbaspirillum rubrisubalbicans and Ralstonia solanacearum; strains representing 118 species and pathovars of Xanthomonas were also tested for phytotoxic capacity. Antibacterial activity was present in all Burkholderia spp. except B. andropogonis, in biovars II and III of R. solanacearum bu...

Endophytic microorganisms are presented in plants of different families growing in the foothills and piedmont plains of Trans-Ili Alatau. It was found that the maximum number of endophytic micromycetes is typical to the Fabaceae family. The number of microscopic fungi in the roots reached (145.9±5.9)×10 CFU/g of plant tissue; yeasts (79.8±3.5)×10 CFU/g of plant tissue. Basically, endophytic mic...

Dairy propionibacteria are widely used in starter cultures for Swiss type cheese. These bacteria can ferment glucose, lactic acid, and glycerol into propionic acid, acetic acid, and carbon dioxide. This research examined the antifungal effect of dairy propionibacteria when glycerol was used as carbon source for bacterial growth. Five type strains of propionibacteria were tested against the yeas...

The emergence of less common fungal pathogens has been increasingly reported in the last decade. We describe 25 cases of Rhodotorula spp. isolated from blood cultures at a large Brazilian tertiary teaching hospital from 1996-2004. We also investigated the in vitro activity of four antifungal drugs, using a standardized method. The median age of patients was 43 years. The majority of patients (8...

Since, there is no study reporting the mechanism of azole resistance among yeasts isolated from aquatic environments; the present study aims to investigate the occurrence of antifungal resistance among yeasts isolated from an aquatic environment, and assess the efflux-pump activity of the azole-resistant strains to better understand the mechanism of resistance for this group of drugs. For this ...
