Mycetoma of the Foot Caused by Fusarium solani: Identification of the Etiologic Agent by DNA Sequencing

Yera, H., Bougnoux, M. E., Jeanrot, C., Baixench, M. T., De Pinieux, G., Dupouy-Camet, J.

We report a case of Fusarium solani mycetoma of the foot that could not be diagnosed by culture, but was correctly identified after amplification and sequence analysis of fungal internal transcribed...

Use of random amplified polymorphic DNA as a typing method for Candida albicans in epidemiological surveillance of a burn unit.

Robert, F, Lebreton, F, Bougnoux, M E, Paugam, A, Wassermann, D, Schlotterer, M, ...

Burn patients are particularly exposed to deep-seated nosocomial infections caused by Candida species. Superficial carriage of C. albicans is a potential source of infection and dissemination, and...

Microbiological findings about pulmonary cryptosporidiosis in two AIDS patients.

Dupont, C, Bougnoux, M E, Turner, L, Rouveix, E, Dorra, M

There is no known treatment for pulmonary cryptosporidiosis, a rare complication of intestinal cryptosporidiosis in AIDS patients. We report two cases of cryptosporidiosis which were unusual because...

Resolutive Candida utilis fungemia in a nonneutropenic patient.

Bougnoux, M E, Gueho, E, Potocka, A C

We report here the second case of Candida utilis infection in humans. The patient was apparently immunocompetent, had no central catheter, and survived an 8-day fungemia. Genomic analysis confirmed...

Comparison of antibody, antigen, and metabolite assays for hospitalized patients with disseminated or peripheral candidiasis.

Bougnoux, M E, Hill, C, Moissenet, D, Bonnay, M, Vicens-Sprauel, I, ...

Repeat serum samples from 22 patients with proven disseminated candidiasis and 42 with simple peripheral colonization were assayed for Candida antibodies by coelectrosyneresis, immunoprecipitation,...

Comparative In Vitro Activities of Caspofungin and Micafungin, Determined Using the Method of the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing, against Yeast Isolates Obtained in France in 2005-2006▿

Dannaoui, E., Lortholary, O., Raoux, D., Bougnoux, M. E., Galeazzi, G., Lawrence, C., ...

The in vitro activities of caspofungin and micafungin against 1,038 yeast isolates have been determined. The caspofungin and micafungin MICs were lower for Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, and...

Detection of Circulating Aspergillus fumigatus DNA by Real-Time PCR Assay of Large Serum Volumes Improves Early Diagnosis of Invasive Aspergillosis in High-Risk Adult Patients under Hematologic Surveillance▿ †

Suarez, F., Lortholary, O., Buland, S., Rubio, M. T., Ghez, D., Mahé, V., ...

Detection of galactomannan antigen (GMA) in serum is the standard assay for the diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis (IA) in high-risk patients with hematological disorders. Detection of Aspergillus...
