Virulence factors of medically important fungi.
Human fungal pathogens have become an increasingly important medical problem with the explosion in the number of immunocompromised patients as a result of cancer, steroid therapy, chemotherapy, and AIDS. Additionally, the globalization of travel and expansion of humankind into previously undisturbed habitats have led to the reemergence of old fungi and new exposure to previously undescribed fun...
متن کاملBradykinin-Potentiating Factors of Venom from Iranian Medically Important Scorpions
The venom of animals, including snakes, scorpions, and spiders is a complex combination of proteins, peptides, and other biomolecules as well as some minerals. Among the biomolecules of some animal’s venom, small peptides that lack disulfide bands known as Non-Disulfide Bridge Peptides (NDBPs) potentiate the bradykinin by preventing the conversion of angiotensin 1 to angiotensin 2 using the mec...
متن کاملTaxonomy of medically important fungi in the molecular era.
www.thelancet.com/infection Vol 13 May 2013 385 evolves for identifying and managing cases, isolation of suspect cases, follow-up of contacts, and prevention of hospital-acquired infection—all essential for interruption of transmission. Although the novel coronavirus does not seem to be as readily transmissible between people as that which caused the SARS epidemic in 2003, vigilance and continu...
متن کاملSite-Directed and Random Insertional Mutagenesis in Medically Important Fungi
Site-directed and random mutagenesis have been useful tools in molecular biology. The application of directed mutagenesis in medically important fungi has been limited by the availability of molecular genetic techniques. Even species in which efficient genetic transformation methodologies exist, mutagenesis approaches were sparsely used due to diploidism. Lack of genetic tools hindered understa...
متن کاملComparative antigenic studies of species of Basidiobolus and other medically important fungi.
An immunodiffusion technique was used to evaluate the antigenic relationship of various pathogenic and saprobic Basidiobolus spp., Conidiobolus spp., isolates of the order Mucorales, and several other medically important nonzygomycetous fungi. The antiserum to Basidiobolus haptosporus shared two lines of identity, designated inner (N) and outer (Y), when tested against exoantigens of known stra...
