Histoplasma capsulatum variety capsulatum is a fungal pathogen which causes histoplasmosis that occurs as a result of inhalation of microconidea from mycelial phase, primarily affecting the lung which occurs the yeast differentiation, inducing a pulmonary infection and dissemination to other organs. Recently, a correlation between the H. capsulatum infection mode, and the formation of bio…
Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum is a dimorphic fungus that causes histoplasmosis, a respiratory and systemic mycosis. The development of disease depends on the ability of Histoplasma yeast to survive and replicate within alveolar macrophages. In this context, it is known that adherence to host cells is the first step in the colonization and is essential for the establishment of inf…
Cryptococcosis is a serious, cosmopolitan and opportunistic fungal infectious disease of public health importance that affects both immunocompromised and immunocompetent individuals. The main etiological agents are Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gatti, which have their ecological niches in pigeon excreta and decaying matter from trees, making their dissemination constant. In ord…
Histoplasma capsulatum is a fungus that causes Histoplasmosis, a systemic and endemic Mycosis worldwide. In Brazil, this Mycosis mainly affects the southeast region, causing real problems in public health. There is a limited number of antifungal drugs for the treatment of mycoses in general and, particularly of Histoplasmosis, which have significant adverse effects such as renal and hepat…
Histoplasma capsulatum is the dimorphic fungus that causes histoplasmosis, respiratory and systemic mycosis, which affects even immunocompetent individuals. Several strategies, such as intracellular permanence, thermodymorphism, expression of adhesins, and, more recently, biofilm formation, have already been described in the literature as important to permanence and multiplication in the …
Paracoccidioides spp is an important human pathogen that causes paracoccidioidomicose (PCM), a systemic mycosis with large distribution in Latin America, which makes it a public health issue. Recently, our group reported the ability of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and P. Lutzii isolates to form in vitro biofilms, and a significant increase of the expression of genes involved in the virul…
