Exploring virulence attributes in non-Cryptococcus Tremellomycetes.
This study evaluated the virulence traits of non-Cryptococcus Tremellomycetes Papiliotrema flavescens (n = 5), Naganishia diffluens (n = 6), N. randhawae (n = 1), and Filobasidium magnum (n = 2). Virulence traits analyzed included capsule formation, melanin production, urease and phospholipase activity, hemolysin production, biofilm formation, and UV resistance. All yeasts produced capsule; melanin was detected in 78.6%, urease in 92.9%, and phospholipase in 85.7%; 42.9% were weak biofilm producers, and 33.3% survived UV exposure. These findings highlight that the fungi evaluated exhibit virulence attributes, underscoring the need for further research, including in vivo studies and genetic analyses, to clarify their pathogenic potential.
期刊介绍:
Medical Mycology is a peer-reviewed international journal that focuses on original and innovative basic and applied studies, as well as learned reviews on all aspects of medical, veterinary and environmental mycology as related to disease. The objective is to present the highest quality scientific reports from throughout the world on divergent topics. These topics include the phylogeny of fungal pathogens, epidemiology and public health mycology themes, new approaches in the diagnosis and treatment of mycoses including clinical trials and guidelines, pharmacology and antifungal susceptibilities, changes in taxonomy, description of new or unusual fungi associated with human or animal disease, immunology of fungal infections, vaccinology for prevention of fungal infections, pathogenesis and virulence, and the molecular biology of pathogenic fungi in vitro and in vivo, including genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, and proteomics. Case reports are no longer accepted. In addition, studies of natural products showing inhibitory activity against pathogenic fungi are not accepted without chemical characterization and identification of the compounds responsible for the inhibitory activity.
