Sexual stages of 3 classes:
Basidiomycetes
brown basidiospore
Zygomycetes
dark colored zygospore formed from fusion of 2 aseptate hyphae
Ascomycetes
the 2 celled ascospores are produced in a sac like ascus
Dermatophytes and other fungi that causes superficial infections:
limited to keratinized tissues. ie. skin, hair, nails
dermatophyte infection determined by observing skin scrapping in KOH wet mount
has macroconidia & microconidia
Microsporum canis
spindle-shaped, thick walled macroconidia.
has up to 15 septa.
Microsporum gypseum
thin wall
usually 4-6 septa
usually 4-6 septa
Epidermophyton floccosum
club-shaped macroconidia
2-3 septa
no microconidia
Tricophyton mentagrophytes
cigar-shaped
thin walled macroconidia
abundant
coiled hyphae
hair perforation positive
Tricophyton rubrum
cigar-shaped macroconidia
thin walled microconidia
Dermatophyte
anthropophillic (attracted to man*), zoophillic, geophillic [as pop. decrease, lose ability to mate]
2-3 septa
no microconidia
cigar-shaped
thin walled macroconidia
abundant
coiled hyphae
hair perforation positive
cigar-shaped macroconidia
thin walled microconidia
Dermatophyte
anthropophillic (attracted to man*), zoophillic, geophillic [as pop. decrease, lose ability to mate]
Saprophytes: Organisms that live on dead organic matter
Aspergillus
chained conidia on phialides arise from swollen vesicle
Exogenous opportunistic fungus.
Scopulariopsis spp.
geicohands-like conidiophore
large, rough, annelloconidia (produced by annelides)
Penicillium
chains of conidia from branched conidiaphore
brush like, longer than Aspergillus
Penicillium marnefei
severe biohazard
intracellular (Histo too!!)
dimorphic
haploid, no sexual stage
most infected by HIV positive patients
Disease:(by inhalation)
once infected, cannot be cured
effect immune surpress individuals (ie. HIV)
Disribution:
Southeast Asia, nothern Thailand
Diagnose:
Culture, PCR, Serological test
Rhizopus
non-septate, wide hyphae
sporangia filled with sporangiospores
has rhizoids at base of sporangiophore
Rndogenous opportunistic fungi
Mucor
septate hyphae
sporangiospores in sporangia.
sporangiospores in sporangia.
Alternaria
dematiaceous (dark colored)
club-shaped conidia
As a sign of gratitude for how my husband was saved from Lymes, I decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
ReplyDeleteMy husband suffered from Lymes and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because he was my all and the symptoms were terrible, we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure him. I searched for a cure and I saw testimony of so many people who were cured from Lymes , and so many others with similar body problems, and they left the contact of this doctor who had the herbal cure to Lymes. I never imagined Lymes had a cure not until I contacted him and he assured me my husband will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my husband used it and in one months he was fully okay even up till this moment he is so full of life.Lymes has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com Dr Itua can cure Herpes,Hiv,Cancer,ALS,Copd,MS,Diabetes, and other disease talk to Dr Itua on how to get the medication. Thanks for reading my testimony .
