Fungal infections are frequently observed in living-donor liver transplantation (LT) and are correlated with the clinical outcome. Early diagnosis of fungus infection is difficult because of the low positive rate of blood culture and the poor specificity of the (1-3)-D-glucan assay for fungi. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based method was developed for the early diagnosis of fungal infectio...

Fly-to-fly transmission of conidia of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae and the effect of fungal infection on the reproductive potential of females surviving infection were investigated in three fruit fly species, Ceratitis cosyra, C. fasciventris, and C. capitata. The number of conidia picked up by a single fruit fly was determined in C. cosyra. The initial uptake (Day 0) of c...

Arthrographis kalrae is a saprophytic fungus with initially yeast-like colonies, eventually developing hyphae and distinctive cylindrical arthroconidia. A. rarely associated human infection. This study reports the first case of prosthetic joint A 75-year-old male background type 2 diabetes, obesity total knee replacement underwent debridement polyliner exchange for chronic methicillin-resistant...

A SURVEY of British literature leaves the impression that otomycosis has never held a prominent place among ear diseases in this country. Dismissing the condition in a few lines, most authors suggest that it occurs infrequently and that treatment is a simple matter of applying some wellknown preparation. It is, however, apparent in most clinics that the discharging ear still presents unsolved p...

Fungal infections are estimated to occur in over a billion people each year, and evidence suggests the rate is increasing. Vaccines are unavailable, and despite progress in diagnosis and therapy, the management of fungal infections is a challenging endeavor associated with unacceptable mortality rates, particularly in immunocompromised hosts (Kontoyiannis et al., 2010; Pagano et al., 2010). Imp...

The study aimed to isolate and diagnose the fungus that causes gray mold disease in strawberries, showed spread of Botrytis cinerea all areas sample collection (Baghdad - Anbar Babylon Salah al-Din). Reducing infection rate (28%, 32.33%) strawberry plant compared control treatment contaminated with pathogenic (82.67). results a significant effect above induction factors reducing diameter growth...

The aim of this research was to study the effect inoculation with Cylindrocarpon magnusianum endotrophic micromycete on physiological and biochemical parameters tomato test plants under action heavy metal salts. were inoculated fungus culture (control population) populations preliminarily adapted stress factor. Then, grown control conditions substrates different concentrations salts (zinc, copp...

Abstract The mitotic exit network (MEN) pathway is a vital kinase cascade regulating the timely and correct progress of cell division. In rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae , MEN pathway, consisting conserved protein kinases MoSep1 MoMob1-MoDbf2, important in development pathogenicity fungus. We found that deletion MoSEP1 affects phosphorylation MoMob1, but not MoDbf2, contrast to what was bu...

Proteins in intercellular washing fluid (IWF) from wheat (Triticum aestivum) and barley (Hordeum vulgare) leaves were separated by two-dimensional isoelectric focusing-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and stained with Coomassie brilliant blue (CBB) or silver. Intracellular protein from the cut ends of leaves accounted for only a small proportion of total protein in IWF from wheat leaves. When...

Mucormycosis (also known as zygomycosis) is a dangerous but uncommon fungal infection caused by fungus mucormycetes. can be variety of fungi. Mucormycetes are fungi that belong to the Mucorales scientific order. Molds found all over place. primarily affects persons who have health issues or use medications reduce body's capacity resist infections and illness. After inhaling spores from air, it ...
