  • Antifungal Susceptibility of Japanese Isolates of Nannizia Fulva (Formerly Microsporum Fulvum)
    Med. Mycol. J. Vol.Med. 60, Mycol.23-25, 2019 J. Vol. 60 (No. 1) , 2019 23 ISSN 2185-6486 Short Report Antifungal Susceptibility of Japanese Isolates of Nannizia fulva (Formerly Microsporum fulvum) Rui Kano1, Karin Oshimo1, Teru Fukutomi2 and Hiroshi Kamata1 1 Department of Veterinary Pathobiology, Nihon University College of Bioresouce Sciences School of Veterinary Medicine 2 Bright Pet Clinic ABSTRACT Human and animal dermatophytoses are most commonly treated with systemic antifungal drugs such as itraconazole (ITZ) and terbinafine (TRF). The antifungal susceptibility of Nannizia fulva, however, remains poorly documented. In the present study, we investigated the in vitro susceptibility of N. fulva to ITZ and TRFusing the CLSI M38-A2 test. The mean MICs for the 12 tested strains were 0.6542 mg/L (range: 0.0625-1 mg/L) for ITZ and 0.15625 mg/L (range: < 0.003125-0.5 mg/L) for TRF. These results indicate that ITZ and TRFat standard veterinary doses should be efficacious against N. fulva. Key words : Antifungal susceptibility, geophilic dermatophyte, itraconazole, Nannizia fulva, terbinafine Members of the Microsporum gypseum complex are (Table 1). geophilic dermatophytes with worldwide distribution and The isolates of N. fulva examined in this study are listed in occasionally have been isolated as infectious agents in humans Table 1.

  • View Covering the Agent and the Disease It Causes in Fish and Humans
    Gcebe et al. BMC Microbiology (2018) 18:32 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12866-018-1177-9 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Non-tuberculous Mycobacterium species causing mycobacteriosis in farmed aquatic animals of South Africa Nomakorinte Gcebe1* , Anita L. Michel2 and Tiny Motlatso Hlokwe1 Abstract Background: Mycobacteriosis caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), is among the most chronic diseases of aquatic animals. In addition, fish mycobacteriosis has substantial economic consequences especially in the aquaculture and fisheries industry as infections may significantly decrease production and trade. Some fish NTM pathogens are highly virulent and zoonotic; as such, infection of aquaria with these pathogens is a public health concern. In this study, we report isolation of nine different NTM species from sixteen aquatic animals including different fish species, frogs and a crocodile. Given the clinical significance of Mycobacterium marinum and its close relation to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, as well as the significance of ESAT 6 and CFP-10 secretion in mycobacterial virulence, we analysed the esxA and esxB nucleotide sequences of M. marinum isolates identified in this study as well as other mycobacteria in the public databases. Results: Mycobacterium shimoidei, Mycobacterium marinum, Mycobacterium chelonae, Mycobacterium septicum /M. peregrinum and Mycobacterium porcinum were isolated from gold fish, Guppy, exotic fish species in South Africa, koi and undefined fish, Knysna seahorse, as well Natal ghost frogs respectively, presenting tuberculosis like granuloma. Other NTM species were isolated from the studied aquatic animals without any visible lesions, and these include Mycobacterium sp. N845 T, Mycobacterium fortuitum, a member of the Mycobacterium avium complex, and Mycobacterium szulgai. Phylogenetic analysis of mycobacteria, based on esxA and esxB genes, separated slow growing from rapidly growing mycobacteria as well as pathogenic from non-pathogenic mycobacteria in some cases.

E-mail: [email protected] Received 10 May 2017; Revised 4 July 2017; Accepted 27 September 2017; Editorial Decision 9 August 2017 Abstract Dermatophytes are keratinophilic fungi belonging to the family Arthrodermataceae.De- spite having a monophyletic origin, its systematics has always been complex and con- troversial. Sequencing of nuclear ribosomal ITS and D1/D2 rDNA has been proposed as an efficient tool for identifying species in this group of fungi, while multilocus analy- ses have been used for phylogenetic species recognition. However, the search for new markers, with sequence and size variation, which enable species identification in only one polymerase chain reaction (PCR) step, is very attractive. Inteins seems to fulfill these characteristics. They are self-splicing genetic elements present within housekeeping cod- ing genes, such as PRP8, that codify the most important protein of the spliceosome.

Abstract Purpose: The rationale behind this study was to develop graphene based tolnaftate conjugate (Tf G) and embed it within scaffolds composed of biocompatible Eudragit polymers for controlled and impressive antitinea activity. Methods: Developed Tf G conjugate was entrenched in 20% w/v polymeric solution (ERL100/ERS100) and nonwoven scaffolds through E-spin (electrospinning) technology were fabricated. Assorted analytical techniques i.e. FESEM, FTIR, XRD and DSC were employed to characterize and assessment of scaffolds. Sessile drop and Dialysis bag methods were utilized for the determination of their hydrophilicity and drug release behavior. In vitro fungal study was performed on enormously virulent strains of tinea infections i.e. zoophilic Microsporum fulvum and anthropophilic Trichophyton rubrum. Animal study was performed on Trichophyton rubrum diseased Swiss albino mice for seven days. Results: High payload of Tf on G was perceived by the virtue of extensive surface area of G and process of physisorption.

Summary Mycobacteriosis caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is a rising concern in human medicine both in immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients. In cats, mycobacteriosis caused by NTM is considered mostly to be a focal or dermal infection, with disseminated disease mostly caused by Mycobacterium avium. We describe three cases of disseminated mycobacteriosis in cats, caused by M. malmoense, M. branderi/shimoidei and M. avium, with no identified underlying immunosuppression. In all cases, extracellular mycobacteria were seen in the pulmonary epithelium, intestinal lumen and glomerular tufts, which could affect the shedding of the organism. The present study highlights the importance of mycobacteriosis as a differential even in immunocompetent animals. Considering the close relationship of owners and pets and the potential presence of free mycobacteria in secretions, cats should be considered as a possible environmental reservoir for mycobacteria. Keywords: mycobacteriosis; cat; non-tuberculous mycobacteria Introduction Mycobacteria are acid-fast, aerobic, non-spore forming rod shaped bacteria that range from obligate pathogens to environmental saprophytes.
