Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and P. lutzii are etiologic agents of paracoccidioidomycosis
(PCM), an important endemic mycosis in Latin America. During its evolution, these fungi …

Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is the most relevant systemic endemic mycosis limited to
Latin American countries. The etiological agents are thermally dimorphic species of the …

Introduction The agents of paracoccidioidomycosis, historically identified as
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, are in fact different phylogenetic species. This study aims to …

The yeast-to-hypha transition is tightly associated with pathogenicity in many human
pathogenic fungi, such as the model fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans, which is …

Paracoccidioidomycosis is a systemic mycosis endemic to Latin America, with
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and P. lutzii being the causal agents of this disorder. Several …

Fungal invasive infections are an increasing health problem. The intrinsic complexity of
pathogenic fungi and the unmet clinical need for new and more effective treatments requires …

Aerobic organisms require oxygen for energy. In the course of the infection, adaptation to
hypoxia is crucial for survival of human pathogenic fungi. Members of the Paracoccidioides …

Background The fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is the leading etiological agent of
paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), a systemic granulomatous disease that typically affects the …

How do cells ensure everything is set for cell division before they start the process? Piccirillo
et al. demonstrate that a checkpoint in budding.... The Rlm1 transcription factor is a target of …

Yeast-mycelium fungal dimorphism is a complex trait studied for many years, particularly in
pathogenic fungi for which the morphological switch is often associated with virulence. It is a …
