Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of 14-α-Lanosterol Demethylase (CYP51) in Scedosporium Species.
TL;DR: Analysis of the Scedosporium apiospermum and Scedsporium aurantiacum genomes revealed one CYP51 gene encoding the 14-α-lanosterol demethylase, suggesting the presence of resistance mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Consensus Multilocus Sequence Typing Scheme for Pneumocystis jirovecii.
Lana Pasic,Lidia Goterris,Mercedes Guerrero-Murillo,Laszlo Irinyi,Alex Kan,Carolina A. Ponce,Sergio L. Vargas,M Teresa Martin-Gomez,Wieland Meyer +8 more
TL;DR: A new consensus MLST scheme consisting of four genetically independent loci: β-TUB, CYB, mt26S and SOD, is herein proposed for standardised P. jirovecii typing, successfully amplifying low and high fungal burden specimens, showing adequate discriminatory power, and correctly identifying suspected related and unrelated isolates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Furthering the Continental Drift Speciation Hypothesis in the Pathogenic Cryptococcus Species Complexes
TL;DR: It is proposed that the continental drift hypothesis by Casadevall et al. as a possible speciation driver within the Cryptococcus species complexes may be a mechanism for speciation between these complexes.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro mating of Colombian isolates of the Cryptococcus neoformans species complex.
TL;DR: This is the first report of the determination of the mating ability of Colombian Cryptococcus neoformans isolates to mate in vitro with appropriate tester strains, which is of great importance to study the propagation of the fungus around the globe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cryptococcosis in the koala (Phascolarctos cinereus): pathogenesis and treatment in the context of two atypical cases.
Laura J Schmertmann,Kathryn Stalder,Donald Hudson,Patricia Martin,Mariano Makara,Wieland Meyer,Richard Malik,Mark B. Krockenberger +7 more
TL;DR: This is the first published report of cryptococcal appendicular osteomyelitis in a koala, the first report of concurrent disease in a dependent juvenile and the successful treatment of subclinical cryptococcosis to full resolution of the cryptococCal antigenemia in a free-ranging koala.
