In this study, firstly yeast was isolated from 50 white cheese samples produced by traditional methods raw milk. The species were and identified with the VITEK2 Compact system. There obtained 90 isolates 35.6% Candida sake (32), 13.3% zeylanoides (12), 8.9% famata (8) kefyr remaining 33.3% sphaerica (4), colliculasa (2), boidinii lusitaniae parapsilosis (4) Cryptococcus laurentii krusei Sacchar...

Onychomycosis, the fungal infection of nail is a common occurrence. The conventional fungi implicated are dermatophytes and Candida species. Non-dermatophytic moulds account for few cases and Chaetomium globosum is an exceptional agent. This characteristically involves the toe nails which are dystrophic and discoloured yellow-brown. Direct microscopy shows brown septate hyphae. Isolate is rapid...

Cryptococcus neoformans is a common environmental saprophyte and human fungal pathogen that primarily causes disease in immunocompromised individuals. Similar to many environmentally acquired human fungal pathogens, C. neoformans initiates infection in the lungs. However, the main driver of mortality is invasive cryptococcosis leading to fungal meningitis. After C. neoformans gains a foothold i...

Abstract Ganoderma is a saprophytic and phytopathogenic fungus that are distributed worldwide. threat to farmers of hardwood crops such as industrial forests wood, palm oil plantations, cocoa plantations. In addition, also cultivated herbal medicine. diversity not well understood, especially in Indonesia’s tropical rain monospecific This study aims identify the with phenotypic approach. basidio...

Phaeohyphomycosis consists of a heterogeneous group of fungal infections caused by more than 80 genera and species. Subcutaneous infection usually follows traumatic implantation of a fungus by a wooden splinter that the fungus inh abits as a saprophyte. The growth of the fungus forms verrucous plaques or a painless subcutaneous abscess. We report a subcutaneous cyst (phaeomycotic cyst) in the l...

'NSU Corynebacteria' are commensals of the normal male and female urogenital tracts (Furness, Kamat, Kaminski, and Seebode, 1973). They are so called because they were first described in association with NSU (Fmrness and Csonka, 1966), and the term is retained so that they should not be confused with other diphtheroids, which in contrast are easily isolated on commercial media and are well-know...

Burkholderia pseudomallei is a Gram-negative bacillus and the causative agent of melioidosis, a serious infection associated with high mortality rate in humans. It can be naturally found as an environmental saprophyte in soil or stagnant water, and rice paddies that predominate in regions of endemicity such as Northeast Thailand. B. pseudomallei is a Biosafety Level 3 organism due to risks of a...

Burkholderia pseudomallei, the cause of the severe disease melioidosis in humans and animals, is a gram-negative saprophyte living in soil and water of areas of endemicity such as tropical northern Australia and Southeast Asia. Infection occurs mainly by contact with wet contaminated soil. The environmental distribution of B. pseudomallei in northern Australia is still unclear. We developed and...
