Presenting a case report of corneal graft infection by an opportunistic fungus, , which is reported to be resistant many antifungals. Antibiotic sensitivity the organism and management such infections has been discussed.

Candida albicans is a fungus that often colonizes the human body as commensal without causing any symptoms. Several C. virulence factors have been described in literature, of which best known are adhesion to host mucosa cells and secretion hydrolytic enzymes. The transition from colonization infection depends not only on fungus, but also response invasion. This literature review focuses differe...

By mediating tryptophan catabolism, the enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) has a complex role in immunoregulation in infection, pregnancy, autoimmunity, transplantation, and neoplasia. We hypothesized that IDO might affect the outcome of the infection in mice infected with Candida albicans by virtue of its potent regulatory effects on inflammatory and T cell responses. IDO expression was ...

Sepedonium sp . is a saprophytic fungus that inhabits soil and plant material. Few cases of infection with this fungus have been reported. We describe a case of a child who received haploidentical stem cell transplantation. The patient developed Sepedonium sp . infection after graft failure accompanied by cytomegalovirus infection. This was associated with two genotypes corresponding to a gB1 a...

The glyoxalase system plays an important role in various physiological processes plants when they are subjected to different types of stress, whether physical, chemical or biological. Aspergillus flavus is aflatoxin-producing fungus that contaminates dry grains, leading a gradual deterioration the grains and significant reduction their nutritional value. objective present study was evaluate act...

background there are several conventional, immunological and molecular techniques to diagnose the fungi that cause aspergillosis in biological samples; these methods have some advantages and disadvantages. objectives the current study aimed to evaluate different methods used in identification and diagnosis of fungi causing aspergillosis. materials and methods male western albino rats were provi...

The filamentous mould Rhizopus microsporus is a member of the zygomycetes (lower fungi). While some strains serve as food fermenting fungi, others represent infamous plant pathogens and opportunistic human pathogens. Recently, it was shown that some strains of R. microsporus are associated with symbiotic bacteria. Here, we outline why these organisms are important for human health and how they ...
