onychomycosis due to yeast and yeast-like fungi

onychomycosis due to the yeast and yeast-like fungi was investigated among the 147 patient who refered to the mycology laboratory of school of public health during the period of 11 months. the isolated yeasts and yeast-like fungi were examined by api auxanogram methed. the distribution of isolated microorganisms were c. tropicalis 10(7.4%), c.guillioimondii & (5.9%) cases and one case of each o...

Septin function in yeast model systems and pathogenic fungi.

Hypersensitiveness to Soluble Specific Substances from Yeast-like Fungi

1. The polysaccharide fractions from each of five yeast-like fungi produce rapid, fatal anaphylactic shock in guinea pigs passively sensitized with antiserum from rabbits immunized against the killed organisms. 2. Cross-anaphylactic reactions with heterologous polysaccharide fractions are frequent. They parallel closely the cross-precipitin reactions, thus adding evidence in favor of the identi...

The Yeast-Like Fungi of the Human Vagina *

Much attention has been focused of late on the etiological role of yeast-like fungi in disease of the vagina and vulva. Although these organisms have long been known to inhabit the female genital tract, they were thought to be but rarely the inciting agent in diseases of these organs. Recent work has shown, however, that they occur with comparative frequency, especially in pregnant and diabetic...

Yeast and filamentous fungi as model organisms in microbody research.

Yeast and filamentous fungi are important model organisms in microbody research. The value of these organisms as models for higher eukaryotes is underscored by the observation that the principles of various aspects of microbody biology are strongly conserved from lower to higher eukaryotes. This has allowed to resolve various peroxisome-related functions, including peroxisome biogenesis disorde...
