Response of macrophage Toll-like receptor 4 to a Sporothrix schenckii lipid extract during experimental sporotrichosis
(Immunology, 2009-10-01) [Artigo]
P>Toll-like receptors have been implicated in the recognition of various pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa and fungi. However, no information is available about Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) participation in ...
Interaction of pathogenic fungi with host cells: Molecular and cellular approaches
(FEMS Immunology and Medical Microbiology, 2005-09-01) [Artigo]
This review provides an overview of several molecular and cellular approaches that are likely to supply insights into the host-fungus interaction. Fungi present intra- and/or extracellular host-parasite interfaces, the ...
The malate synthase of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is a linked surface protein that behaves as an anchorless adhesin
(BMC Microbiology, 2009-12-24) [Artigo]
Background: The pathogenic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is the agent of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM). This is a pulmonary mycosis acquired by inhalation of fungal airborne propagules that can disseminate to several ...
Species diversity of yeast in oral colonization of insulin-treated diabetes mellitus patients
(Mycopathologia, 2006-08-01) [Artigo]
The aim of this study was to investigate oral yeast colonization, antifungal susceptibility and strain diversity in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus patients (175), as well as to evaluate the influence of dental prostheses. ...
Characterization of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis PbDfg5p, a cell-wall protein implicated in filamentous growth
(Yeast, 2008-02-01) [Artigo]
The dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is the causative agent of the most frequent systemic mycosis in Latin America. In humans, infection starts by inhalation of fungal propagules, which reach the pulmonary ...
A centennial: Discovery of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis
(Mycopathologia, 2008-04-01) [Artigo]
Interactions of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis with host cells: recent advances
(Mycopathologia, 2008-04-01) [Artigo]
Host-fungal interactions are inherently complex and dynamic. In order to identify new microbial targets and develop more effective anti-fungal therapies, it is important to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms ...
Diagnosis of Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome by ultraviolet spectrophotometry
(Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2003-10-01) [Artigo]
Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) is an autosomal recessive disorder due to an inborn error of cholesterol metabolism, characterized by congenital malformations, dysmorphism of multiple organs, mental retardation and delayed ...
Analysis of the Paracoccidioides brasiliensis triosephosphate isomerase suggests the potential for adhesin function
(FEMS Yeast Research, 2007-12-01) [Artigo]
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is an important fungal pathogen. The disease it causes, paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), ranges from localized pulmonary infection to systemic processes that endanger the life of the patient. ...
In vitro antimicrobial efficiency of a mouthwash containing triclosan/gantrez and sodium bicarbonate
(Brazilian Oral Research, 2007-12-31) [Artigo]
Several antiseptic substances have been used as adjuncts to routine mechanical procedures of oral hygiene, based on their antimicrobial effects. The objective of this study was to assess in vitro the antimicrobial efficiency ...
