Fungi are major ecological players in both terrestrial and aquatic environments by cycling
organic matter and channelling nutrients across trophic levels. High-throughput sequencing …

The introduction of in vitro nucleic acid amplification techniques, led by real-time PCR, into
the clinical microbiology laboratory has transformed the laboratory detection of viruses and …

Background. Inadequate antimicrobial treatment is an independent determinant of hospital
mortality, and fungal bloodstream infections are among the types of infection with the highest …

We report two‐dimensional (2D) photonic crystal (PC) sensing materials that selectively
detect Candida albicans (C. albicans). These sensors utilize Concanavalin A (Con A) …

Given the rise in the incidence of invasive fungal infections (IFIs) and the expanding
spectrum of fungal pathogens, early and accurate identification of the causative pathogen is …

Filamentous fungi are able to accumulate significant amount of metals from their
environment. The potential of fungal biomass as agents for biosorption of heavy metals from …

The incidence of opportunistic yeast infections in humans has been increasing over recent
years. These infections are difficult to treat and diagnose, in part due to the large number …

The focus of this review is the evolution of biochemical phenotypic yeast identification
methods with emphasis on conventional approaches, rapid screening tests, chromogenic …

ABSTRACT At present, 1.5 million species of fungi are estimated. Among these less than 5%
have been described. Many fungal species cause disease in plants. These diseases cause …

Objectives Although inadequate antimicrobial therapy has been demonstrated in multiple
studies to increase the risk for death in bacterial infections, few data investigating the effect …
