Acremonium kiliense: reappraisal of its clinical significance.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A case of Acremonium kiliense peritonitis is described. Diagnosis was established by repeated isolation of the fungus from peritoneal dialysate and by its identification on the basis of morphological characteristics and sequencing of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of ribosomal DNA (rDNA). This report and available literature suggest that A. kiliense may have a greater clinical significance than hitherto recognized.

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...

Acremonium spp. are filamentous, cosmopolitan fungi commonly isolated from plant debris and soil. They are infrequent pathogens in humans. Acremonium fungemia has been reported in neutropenic patients associated with central venous catheters and in nonneutropenic patients receiving long-term total parenteral nutrition. TNF-α blockade is associated with fungal infections, but no Acremonium spp. ...
متن کاملIn vitro evaluation of antifungal drug combinations against Sarocladium (Acremonium) kiliense, an opportunistic emergent fungus resistant to antifungal therapies.
Sarocladium kiliense, formerly known as Acremonium kiliense (1), is a ubiquitous soil saprophyte commonly found in the environment and occasionally infecting humans (2). Its pathogenicity in immunocompetent patients is low and usually is related to inoculation of the fungus via a penetrating injury that often leads to a granuloma formation. However, the presence of underlying immunological diso...
