Meyerozyma guilliermondii (formerly known as Pichia guilliermondii until its rename in 2010) is a species of yeast of the genus Meyerozyma whose asexual or anamorphic form is known as Candida guilliermondii. Candida guilliermondii has been isolated from numerous human infections, mostly of cutaneous origin, if only from immunosuppressed patients.
Observation of yeast colonies in addition to the hyphal form is required to confirm diagnosis of S. schenckii. [20] Growth on media occurs in approximately one to three weeks [16] meaning that results from patient cultures will not be immediately available to make treatment decisions.
Debaryomyces hansenii is an osmo-, halo-and xerotolerant yeast [6] that produces toxins, including mycocins, to destroy competitive yeast species. [5] It is a common species in all types of cheese, including soft cheeses and the brines of semi-hard and hard cheeses, [7] and the most common yeast among 383 isolates from samples of unsulfited or sulfited sausages, skinless sausages and minced ...
Candida tropicalis is a species of yeast in the genus Candida. It is a common pathogen in neutropenic hosts, in whom it may spread through the bloodstream to peripheral organs. [1] For invasive disease, treatments include amphotericin B, echinocandins, or extended-spectrum triazole antifungals. [2]
Rhodotorula mucilaginosa cells, Methylene blue stain, magnification 400x. Rhodotorula is a genus of fungi in the class Microbotryomycetes.Most species are known in their yeast states which produce orange to red colonies when grown on Sabouraud's dextrose agar (SDA).
It is capable of causing disease in non-immunocompromised people. In its yeast state it has been isolated from eucalyptus trees in Australia. The taxonomy of C. gattii has been reviewed; it has now been divided into five species: C. gattii sensu stricto, C. bacillisporus, 'C. deuterogattii, C. tetragattii, and C. decagattii. [10] [2]
Trichosporon asahii is a non-Candida yeast that has been reported to cause infections in immunocompromised patients. [2] T. asahii is the most prominent human pathogen in its genus, causing more than half of all Trichosporon infections. First discovered and named in 1929, [3] The currently accepted nomenclature of T. asahii was validated in ...
The recommended treatment was voriconazole 200 mg, twice a day for two months. Improvement in the left eye was seen within a week. [3] Exposure to mould and yeast within a military hospital in Finland lead to an outbreak of asthma, alveolitis and rhinitis. [16] The building was known to have severe water and mould damage.
