• Abstract

  Trichosporon spp. are widely distributed in nature, comprising several species that inhabit different ecological niches. They can be found in water, soil and body surface of animals. In humans, this fungal species occasionally finds itself as a member of the gastrointestinal microbiota and oral cavity and, temporarily, they can colonize the respiratory tract and skin. This microorganism h…

• Abstract

  Infections caused by Candida species are a major public health problem in tertiary hospitals all over the world, especially in patients with cancer, in which is associated with high mortality. Thus, for the purpose of helping to change this framework, this study will have the following objectives: 1) determine the frequency of yeast species isolated from clinical specimens in specific ter…

• Abstract

  The groups of microorganisms that cause invasive fungal infections in hospital have been progressively increasing, among which are the Trichosporon species, identified as important causes of invasive infection. Aiming to increase knowledge about this pathogen and help in understanding the aspects that involve early diagnosis and adequate therapy, especially in hospitalized patients, this …
