PURPOSE To present a case of unusual corneal infection early in the course of peripheral ulcerative keratitis in a patient with severe vitamin A deficiency. METHOD Single observational case report in urban USA. CASE PRESENTATION An alcoholic patient with pancreatitis, chronic diarrhea, and vitamin A deficiency presented with a marginal corneal ulcer from which two bacteria of the family Mic...

Bacteremia and systemic infection caused by Rothia mucilaginosa Staphylococcus spp are uncommon their resistance to antibiotics becoming overwhelming. Hence, this study was carried out investigate the prevalence antibiogram of from oral cavity students in a Tertiary Institution. A total fifty (50) specimen were collected male female Rivers State University subjected standard microbiological pro...

Cider flavor has a very important impact on the quality. Solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (SPME-GC-MS) combined with gas chromatography–ion mobility (GC-IMS) tested different kinds of non-Saccharomyces yeasts and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae) co-inoculated for fermentation cider to determine differences in aroma material, determination odor activity va...

We report a case of Stomatococcus mucilaginosus endocarditis in which the isolate was relatively resistant to penicillins and cephalothin. The patient was treated successfully with vancomycin and valve replacement.

In this study was developed a natural process using a biological system for the biosynthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) and possible removal of copper from wastewater by dead biomass of the yeast Rhodotorula mucilaginosa. Dead and live biomass of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa was used to analyze the equilibrium and kinetics of copper biosorption by the yeast in function of the initial metal concentratio...

Rhodotorula is emerging as an important cause of nosocomial and opportunistic infections. We present two cases of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa fungemia diagnosed over a period of 3 months at our hospital. The first case was of a pre-term neonate in the neonatal ICU who presented with respiratory failure and sepsis. The second involved an adult female who had been injured in a road traffic accident ...

In the present study basidiomycetous yeast species were characterised from soil samples in different regions of Iran. Soil samples were collected from 5–15 cm depth, subsequently yeasts were isolated and purified. Yeast isolates were identified using D1/D2 domains of 26S rRNA and physiologic tests. The results of this study revealed a rich diversity amongst basidiomycetous yeast species in the ...

Introduction. Endocarditis caused by yeasts is currently an emerging cause of infective endocarditis and, when accompanied byfever of unknown origin, is more severe since interferes with proper diagnosis and endocarditis treatment. Case presentation. The Rio de Janeiro Infective Endocarditis Study Group reports a case of infectious endocarditis (IE) with negative blood cultures in a 45-year-old...
