Project description:The yeast Rhodotorula mucilaginosa shown the capability to degrade patulin by the intracellular enzymes. However, the enzymes which risponsible for the degradation process was unkonown. Transcriptome change in response to mycotoxin patulin was analyzed. The molecular mechanism of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa withstand patulin was revealed.
Project description:We performed a retrospective study to determine the epidemiology of Rothia mucilaginosa infections among pediatric cancer patients. Over 20 years, 37 cases were identified; 27% developed complications, but there was no infection-related mortality. All cases were successfully treated with vancomycin.
