Experimental murine acremoniosis: an emerging opportunistic human infection.
Acremonium is an emerging fungal pathogen causing severe infections. We evaluated the virulence of three clinically relevant species within the genus, i.e., Acremonium kiliense (currently Sarocladium kiliense), Acremonium sclerotigenum-A. egyptiacum complex and Acremonium implicatum in a murine model of disseminated infection. Both immunocompetent and immunosuppresssed mice were infected with t...
متن کاملListeriosis: an opportunistic infection.
Listeria monocytogenes, is a Gram positive, aerobic, intracellular pathogen with a predilection to cause illness in patients with diminished cell mediated immunity(l,2). Reports of listeriosis from India are scanty either because of its rarity, failure to recognize the bacterial growth, improper isolation techniques or lack of awareness. We present three cases of listeriosis to document the set...
متن کاملStenotrophomonas maltophilia: an emerging global opportunistic pathogen.
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an emerging multidrug-resistant global opportunistic pathogen. The increasing incidence of nosocomial and community-acquired S. maltophilia infections is of particular concern for immunocompromised individuals, as this bacterial pathogen is associated with a significant fatality/case ratio. S. maltophilia is an environmental bacterium found in aqueous habitats, i...
متن کاملEmerging opportunistic yeast infections.
A growing population of immunosuppressed patients has resulted in increasingly frequent diagnoses of invasive fungal infections, including those caused by unusual yeasts. The incidence of non-albicans species of Candida is increasing compared with that of Candida albicans, and several species, such as Candida glabrata and Candida krusei, may be resistant to azole antifungal therapy. Trichosporo...
متن کاملNocardia pseudobrasiliensis as an emerging cause of opportunistic infection after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
We report the case of a 55-year-old man who exhibited a nodular pneumonia 4 months after an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Culture of the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid revealed Nocardia pseudobrasiliensis. This recently described carbapenem-resistant species should be included in the differential diagnosis of fungal infection in this setting.
