TL;DR: An international consortium of medical mycology laboratories was formed aiming to establish a quality controlled ITS database, containing 2800 ITS sequences representing 421 fungal species, providing the medical community with a freely accessible tool to rapidly and reliably identify most agents of mycoses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnosis of common dermatophyte infections by a novel multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction detection/identification scheme
Michael Arabatzis,L.E.S. Bruijnesteijn van Coppenraet,Ed J. Kuijper,G.S. de Hoog,A P M Lavrijsen,Kate Templeton,E. M. H. van der Raaij-Helmer,Aristea Velegraki,Yvonne Gräser,Richard C. Summerbell +9 more
TL;DR: Current diagnosis of dermatophytoses, which constitute the commonest communicable diseases worldwide, relies on microscopy and culture, which is time‐consuming and notoriously low in sensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of Medically Relevant Species of Arthroconidial Yeasts by Use of Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization–Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry
Anna Kolecka,Kantarawee Khayhan,Marizeth Groenewald,Bart Theelen,Michael Arabatzis,Aristea Velegraki,Markus Kostrzewa,Mihai Mares,Saad J. Taj-Aldeen,Teun Boekhout,Teun Boekhout +10 more
TL;DR: Expanding the mass spectrum database by increasing the number of reference strains for closely related species, including those of nonclinical origin, should enhance the usefulness of MALDI-TOF MS-based diagnostic analysis of these arthroconidial fungi in medical and other laboratories.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sexual reproduction in the opportunistic human pathogen Aspergillus terreus
TL;DR: The first report of sexual reproduction in A. terreus is reported, with asci containing smooth-walled ascospores with an equatorial protuberance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of Novel Hybrids Between Cryptococcus neoformans var.grubii VNI and Cryptococcus gattii VGII
Mojgan Aminnejad,Mara R. Diaz,Michael Arabatzis,Elizabeth Castañeda,Márcia dos Santos Lazéra,Aristea Velegraki,Deborah Marriott,Tania C. Sorrell,Wieland Meyer,Wieland Meyer +9 more
TL;DR: This is the first study discovering novel natural hybrids between C.neoformans molecular type VNI and C. gattii molecular type VGII and all the hybrids contained both serotype A and B alleles.
