Background: Although approximately 25% of Brazilians have private health coverage (PHC), studies on the surveillance of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in this population are scarce. The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of CKD in individuals under two PHC regimes in Brazil, who total 8,335,724 beneficiaries.
Methods: Outpatient serum creatinine and proteinuria results of individuals from all five regions of Brazil, ≥ 18 years of age, and performed between 10/01/2021 and 10/31/2022, were analyzed through the own laboratory network database.
Four new D-xylose fermenting yeast species of the clade Spathaspora were recovered from rotting-wood samples in a region of Amazonian forest, Northern Brazil. Three species produced unconjugated asci with a single elongated ascospore with curved ends. These species are described as Spathaspora brasiliensis, Spathaspora suhii and Spathaspora roraimanensis.

Methods: As part of an observational study in São Paulo city, Brazil, S. pneumoniae isolates routinely cultured from blood, respiratory specimens, or cerebrospinal and other profound fluids were selected.
Article Synopsis
- Eight new yeast strains were identified from rotting wood and insects in Brazil's Atlantic Rain Forest, showing they belong to the Scheffersomyces clade and are related to known species like Candida lignicola.
- These yeasts thrive in ecological niches associated with decaying wood and can effectively break down cellobiose and other wood-related compounds.
- The new species has been named Candida queiroziae sp. nov., with its type strain designated as UFMG-CLM 5.1(T).
