A 51-year-old man with 3-month unhealing cat bite wound was diagnosed with sporotrichosis, a subacute-to-chronic infection caused by the worldwide endemic, dimorphic fungus Sporothrix globosa. The case would help clinicians to raise awareness of human sporotrichosis due to cat bites, which remains rare and is likely to be underrecognized and misdiagnosed. ...[more]

Project description:Sporothrix schenckii is the species responsible for sporotrichosis, a fungal infection caused by the traumatic implantation of this dimorphic fungus. Recent molecular studies have demonstrated that this species constitutes a complex of numerous phylogenetic species. Since the delineation of such species could be of extreme importance from a clinical point of view, we have studied a total of 127 isolates, most of which were received as S. schenckii, including the available type strains of species currently considered synonyms, and also some close morphological species. We have phenotypically characterized all these isolates using different culture media, growth rates at different temperatures, and numerous nutritional tests and compared their calmodulin gene sequences. The molecular analysis revealed that Sporothrix albicans, S. inflata, and S. schenckii var. luriei are species that are clearly different from S. schenckii. The combination of these phenetic and genetic approaches allowed us to propose the new species Sporothrix brasiliensis, S. globosa, and S. mexicana. The key phenotypic features for recognizing these species are the morphology of the sessile pigmented conidia, growth at 30, 35, and 37 degrees C, and the assimilation of sucrose, raffinose, and ribitol.

Project description:The accurate diagnosis of sporotrichosis and identification at the species level are critical for public health and appropriate patient management. Compared with morphological identification methods, molecular diagnostic tests are rapid and have high sensitivity and standardized operating processes. Therefore, we designed a novel multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method based on the calmodulin (CAL) gene for the identification of clinically relevant Sporothrix species: S. globosa, S. schenckii s. str., and S. brasiliensis. We evaluated the assay with clinical and spiked samples and assessed its diagnostic performance by comparing the results to those of culture and species-specific PCR. Thirty-three DNA templates were used to detect assay specificity, and three plasmids were constructed to create a standard curve and determine the limits of detection (LODs). For nucleic acid detection, the sensitivity and specificity reached 100%. The LODs were 10 copies, 10 copies and 100 copies for S. globosa, S. schenckii s. str and S. brasiliensis, respectively. For the clinical samples, the positive detection rates by culture, species-specific PCR and the multiplex real-time PCR assay were 87.9% (29/33), 39.4% (13/33), and 93.9% (31/33), respectively. For the spiked samples, the positive detection rates were both 100% for S. schenckii s. str and S. brasiliensis. Based on the above results, compared with culture and other molecular diagnosis methods, the novel multiplex real-time PCR assay is effective, fast, accurate, and highly sensitive. It has a lower reaction cost and lower sample volume requirements, can detect co-infections, and allows for standardized operation and easier interpretation of results. In the future, this assay could be developed into a commercial kit for the diagnosis and identification of S. globosa, S. schenckii s. str, and S. brasiliensis.

Project description:Improving clinical efficacy and reducing treatment time have been the focus of sporotrichosis therapy. Antimicrobial peptides ToAP2A, ToAP2C, and ToAP2D were synthesized on the basis of ToAP2 (AP02759), a peptide derived from the antimicrobial peptide database by the database filtering technology, and their physicochemical characteristics were analyzed. Compared with template peptide ToAP2, the modified peptides had much shorter length, lower molecular weight but significantly greater stability, which in return resulted in increases in the aliphatic index, hydrophilicity, and protein binding ability. Here, we show that the three derived peptides inhibit the growth of Sporothrix globosa, among which ToAP2D had the strongest anti-fungal activity. ToAP2D showed good serum stability without acute toxicity. The ToAP2D treatment inhibited the growth of S. globosa and enhanced apoptosis, which was evidenced by the upregulation of apoptosis-related protein caspase-3. The scanning electron microscopy analysis revealed deformation and rupture of S. globosa. The levels of mitochondrial membrane potential were decreased and that of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) were increased in S. globosa upon ToAP2D treatment. Moreover, ToAP2D activated metacaspase. In the in vivo study, we further demonstrated that ToAP2D inhibited the S. globosa infection of mice footpads, and its efficiency was nearly comparable to itraconazole. In summary, our results suggest that antimicrobial peptide ToAP2D has the potential for sporotrichosis therapy.

Project description:Melanin is a Sporothrix virulence factor that can inhibit the innate immune functions of macrophages such as phagocytosis and killing. However, no data on melanin's influence on antigen presentation by macrophages are available. In this study, we used conidia, yeasts, and melanin ghosts (MGs) from a black Sporothrix globosa strain (MEL+) and its ultraviolet-induced albino mutant (MEL-), to study the influence of melanin on expression of molecules involved in antigen presentation by mouse macrophages (MHC class II, CD80, CD86), as well as on levels of transcription factors regulating their expression (CIITA and promoters I, III, and IV). A murine infection model was used to assess the virulence of both strains and differences in expression of MHC class II and CD80/86 in vivo. MHC class II, CD86 CIITA, and PIV expressions were lower in macrophages infected with MEL+ than in macrophages infected with MEL- conidia, while CD80 expression was similar. No statistical difference in gene expression was observed between macrophages infected by MEL+ and MEL- yeasts. Infection by MGs alone had no clear effect on expression of antigen presentation-associated molecules. Mice infected with MEL+ S. globosa had significantly higher fungal burdens in the lung, liver, spleen, kidney, and testicle compared with mice infected with MEL- S. globosa 21 days post-infection. MHC class II expression changes in the animal study were similar to those observed in the in vitro experiment. Our results indicate that S. globosa melanin can inhibit expression of antigen presentation-associated molecules during both the early and late stages of infection, representing a new mechanism to evade host immunity and to enhance dissemination. Further investigations of melanin's impact on adaptive immunity will be helpful in understanding this fungal virulence factor.

Project description:Sporotrichosis is one of the neglected tropical diseases causing subcutaneous chronic granulomatous lesion by thermally dimorphic fungi belonging to Sporothrix species. Sporothrix brasiliensis, Sporothrix mexicana and Sporothrix globosa are the common pathogenic species. In Asian countries, S. globosa constitutes nearly 99.3% of all Sporothrix species. We studied 63 cases of sporotrichosis of geographically diverse origin from India and Sporothrix isolates were characterised for its growth in different media, temperatures, ability to assimilate sugars and antifungal susceptibility profile. Molecular characterization was performed by sequencing of the calmodulin (CAL), beta tubulin (BT) and translational elongation factor 1-alpha (TEF-1α) and typing by fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism (FAFLP). In patients who presented with fixed (49.2%), lymphocutaneous lesions (23.8%), in 26.9% the details were not known, none had systemic dissemination. All the isolates tested were Sporothrix globosa and that could grow up to 35 °C and unable to grow at and beyond 37 °C. The assimilation of sucrose, ribitol and raffinose helps in identifying S. globosa. Sequences of CAL or BT or TEF-1α can differentiate S. globosa from other species in the complex. FAFLP results exhibited low genetic diversity. No correlation was noted between genotypes and clinical presentation, or geographic distribution. Itraconazole, terbinafine and posaconazole showed good in vitro antifungal activity against S. globosa whereas fluconazole and micafungin had no activity. S. globosa of Indian origin is relatively less pathogenic than other pathogenic Sporothrix species as it does not cause systemic dissemination and in the diagnostic laboratory, incubation of the cultures below 37 °C is essential for effective isolation.

Project description:Sporotrichosis is a polymorphic disease of humans and animals, which is acquired via traumatic inoculation of Sporothrix propagules into cutaneous or subcutaneous tissue. The etiological agents are in a clinical complex, which includes Sporothrix brasiliensis, Sporothrix schenckii, Sporothrix globosa, and Sporothrix luriei, each of which has specific epidemiological and virulence characteristics. Classical manifestation in humans includes a fixed localized lesion at the site of trauma plus lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis with fungal spreading along the lymphatic channels. Atypical sporotrichosis is a challenge to diagnosis because it can mimic many other dermatological diseases. We report an unusual, itraconazole-resistant cutaneous lesion of sporotrichosis in a 66-year-old Brazilian man. Histopathological examination of the skin revealed vascular and fibroblastic proliferation with chronic granulomatous infiltrate composed of multinucleated giant cells. Sporothrix were isolated from the skin lesion, and phylogenetic analyses confirmed it to be sporotrichosis due to S. globosa, a widespread pathogen. Immunoblotting analysis showed several IgG-reactive molecules in autochthonous preparations of the whole cellular proteins (160, 80, 60, 55, 46, 38, 35, and 30 kDa) and exoantigen (35 and 33 kDa). The patient was first unsuccessfully treated with daily itraconazole, and then successfully treated with potassium iodide.

Project description:Sporotrichosis is a cutaneous and subcutaneous fungal disease of humans and other mammals, known to be caused by the Sporothrix schenckii species complex, which comprises four species of clinical importance: S. brasiliensis, S. globosa, S. luriei, and S. schenckii sensu stricto. Of them, S. globosa and S. schenckii s. str. show global distribution and differences in global frequency as causal agents of the disease. In the Americas, only three species are present: S. schenckii s. str., S. brasiliensis (so far, only reported in Brazil), and S. globosa. In Venezuela, since the first case of sporotrichosis reported in 1935, S. schenckii have been considered its unique etiological agent. In the present work, the presence of more than one species in the country was evaluated.By phenotypic key features and molecular phylogeny analyses, we re-examined 30 isolates from diverse Venezuelan regions belonging to the fungi collection of Instituto de Biomedicina, Caracas, Venezuela, and national reference center for skin diseases. All isolates were collected between 1973 and 2013, and maintained in distilled water.Sporotrichosis in Venezuela is mainly caused by S. schenckii s. str. (70%). However, a significant proportion (30%) of sporotrichosis cases in the country can be attributable to S. globosa. A correlation between intraspecific genotypes and clinical presentation is proposed.Our data suggest that sporotrichosis various clinical forms might be related to genetic diversity of isolates, and possibly, to diverse virulence profiles previously reported in the S. schenckii species complex. Sporothrix globosa was found to be the causative agent of 30% of sporotrichosis for the Venezuelan cases re-examined, the highest frequency of this species so far reported in the Americas. The high genetic variability presented by S. schenckii s. str. indicates that species distinction based on phenotypic key features could be a challenging and uncertain task; molecular identification should be always employed.

Project description:Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) had been used for molecular identification of Sporothrix spp., which is the causative fungi of sporotrichosis and the most prevalent deep-seated dermatomycosis. Also, mtDNA-RFLP had been used to investigate the molecular epidemiology of sporotrichosis. While the current standard for molecular diagnosis is performed by sequence analysis of the calmodulin gene (CAL), correspondence between the results from CAL and mtDNA is of diagnostic and epidemiological interest. Here, we investigated the correspondence between CAL and mtDNA used for molecular identification of Sporothrix globosa and S. schenckii, which are two major species. We also investigated and propose molecular markers suitable to describe the epidemiology of S. globosa, which is considered as a species with few intraspecific polymorphisms. Eighty-seven strains morphologically identified as S. schenckii sensu lato were investigated. They were identified as group A (17 types, 17 strains) or B (14 types, 70 strains) by mtDNA-RFLP. Partial sequences of CAL, internal transcribed spacer, and spacer between atp9 and cox2 genes of mtDNA of these strains were determined. All group A strains corresponded to S. schenckii, and group B to S. globosa. The sequences of the amplicons targeted on the spacer region in mtDNA of S. globosa ranged 510-515 bp in length and exhibited 10 molecular variations, whereas CAL indicated seven molecular variations. In conclusion, most of the S. schenckii sensu lato strains isolated from Japanese sporotrichosis patients were confirmed as S. globosa, because group B, which comprised the majority of strains, matched perfectly with S. globosa by the CAL sequencing study. We proposed sequence variations in the spacer between atp9 and cox2 genes of mtDNA as a suitable molecular epidemiological marker for S. globosa.
