The majority of mycotoxins produced by Aspergillus fungi are immunosuppressive agents, and their cytotoxicity may impair defense mechanisms in humans. The objective of the study was evaluation of the cytotoxicity of fungi isolated from an environment where inpatients with impaired immunity were present. The materials comprised 57 fungal strains: Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus niger: Aspergi...
In this study, we examined the microbial population in different parts, gill, muscles and intestine region of Channa punctatus from two different fish culture farm. Based on their growth characteristics on specific culture media, the following human bacterial pathogen such as Achromobacter xylosoxidans (Gram +ve), Acinetobacter anitratus (Gram -ve), Bacillus subtilis (Gram +ve), Proteus vulgari...
As the incidence of azole resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus is rising and the diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis (IA) in immunocompromised patients is rarely based on positive culture yield, we screened our Aspergillus DNA sample collection for the occurrence of azole resistance mediating cyp51 A key mutations. Using two established, a modified and a novel polymerase chain reaction (PCR) ass...
The virulence genes in invasive aspergillosis (IA) have not been analyzed adequately. The present study was designed to evaluate the expression of gpaB and sidA genes, which are important virulence genes in Aspergillus spp. from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples. Direct examination and culture on Czapek Agar and Sabouraud Dextrose Agar media were performed for 600 BAL specimens isolated from...
OBJECTIVES Neutrophils play a crucial role in the control of the Aspergillus fumigatus infection and act in concert with antifungal drugs. This study was undertaken to obtain insights into the possible involvement of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in the interaction of liposomal amphotericin B (L-AmB; AmBisome) with neutrophils in response to A. fumigatus. METHODS For generation of bone marrow-tr...
The in vitro antifungal activity of albendazole, a benzimidazole widely used as an antihelmintic drug in humans, was investigated and assessed for its activity against Aspergillus spp. Forty-eight isolates, representing the most frequent species found in human pathology [Aspergillus fumigatus (n = 27), Aspergillus flavus (n = 10), Aspergillus terreus (n = 7), Aspergillus nidulans (n = 3) and As...
Aspergillus fumigatus causes serious, life-threatening human infection, and is one of the most important pathogenic fungi. Little is known, however, about its mechanism of infection or its virulence factors. To learn about its virulence factors, the effect of the culture filtrate of A. fumigatus on macrophages was studied. When cocultured with A. fumigatus in 96-well microplates, murine periton...
Cytosolic fractions of mycelial extracts from Aspergillus nidulans, A. flavus, and three different isolates of A. fumigatus, grown to stationary phase in Czapek-Dox-AOAC medium, were tested by immunoblotting for the presence of antigens reactive to 80 serum samples from aspergilloma patients. Fifty control serum samples were used to determine the specificity of the reactions. In the A. fumigatu...
Aspergillus fumigatus is one of the most ubiquitous of the airborne saprophytic fungi. Humans and animals constantly inhale numerous conidia of this fungus. The conidia are normally eliminated in the immunocompetent host by innate immune mechanisms, and aspergilloma and allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, uncommon clinical syndromes, are the only infections observed in such hosts. Thus, A....
BACKGROUND Aspergillus fumigatus can cause a wide variety of clinical syndromes, especially in the three largest immunocompromised groups, such as HIV-infected patients. Primary renal aspergillosis is an extremely rare entity. AIMS We report an unusual case of renal abscess due to Aspergillus fumigatus in a patient with AIDS. METHODS We review clinical and laboratory records, and provide fo...
