The future of novel diagnostics in medical mycology

  • Authors: Seixas J, Teles F
  • Publication Year: 2015
  • Journal: Journal of Medical Microbiology
  • Link: http://jmm.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jmm/10.1099/jmm.0.082297-0#tab2

Several fungal diseases have become serious threats to human health and life, especially upon the advent of human immunodeficiency virus/AIDS epidemics and of other typical immunosuppressive conditions of modern life. Accordingly, the burden posed by these diseases and, concurrently, by intensive therapeutic regimens against these diseases has increased worldwide. Existing and available rapid tests for […]

Insights on the genotype distribution among Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii Portuguese clinical isolates

  • Authors: Inácio J, Maduro AP, Mansinho K, Martins ML, Meyer W, Silva I, Teles F
  • Publication Year: 2014
  • Journal: Current Microbiology
  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24077953

This study provides a comprehensive picture of the C. neoformans/C. gattii molecular types most often associated with human cryptococcosis in Portugal and assesses the impact of C. gattii in these infections. One hundred and twenty-two clinical isolates, from distinct patients, were identified as C. neoformans and genotyped by URA5-RFLP, with the molecular types VNI (45.5 %) and VNIII (30.9 %) being the most commonly found ones.

Genotypic diversity of environmental Cryptococcus neoformans isolates from Northern Portugal

  • Authors: Ferreira AS, Inácio J, Maduro AP, Martins Mda L, Sampaio A, Silva I, Teles F
  • Publication Year: 2014
  • Journal: Mycoses
  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23848429

The Cryptococcus neoformans/C. gattii species complex members are the main agents of systemic cryptococcosis. This disease is believed to be acquired from the environment via fungal cell inhalation. Often, isolates recovered from environmental and clinical sources have proven to be genotypically similar. We assessed the occurrence of C. neoformans and C. gattii in environmental substrates collected in a Portuguese region.
