Yeast Smell Like What They Eat: Analysis of Volatile Organic Compounds of in Growth Media Supplemented with Different Lipids.

is part of the human skin microbiota. Its volatile organic compounds (VOCs) possibly contribute to the characteristic odour in humans, as well as to microbiota interaction. The aim of this study was to investigate how the lipid composition of the liquid medium influences the production of VOCs.

: A new agent of chromoblastomycosis.

Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic cutaneous and subcutaneous mycosis, is caused by dematiaceous fungi, the most frequently implicated are and We report a woman who was treated before with mycological cure, but she experience a relapse requiring treatment again. Direct microscopic examination and skin biopsy with culture were necessary to identify a Exophiala psychrophila, and for our knowledge this is the first case reported.

Antibacterial Activities of Azole Complexes Combined with Silver Nanoparticles.

Growing antimicrobial resistance is considered a potential threat for human health security by health organizations, such as the WHO, CDC and FDA, pointing to MRSA as an example. New antibacterial drugs and complex derivatives are needed to combat the development of bacterial resistance. Six new copper and cobalt complexes of azole derivatives were synthesized and isolated as air-stable solids and characterized by melting point analyses, elemental analyses, thermogravimetric analyses (TGA), and infrared and ultraviolet/visible spectroscopy.

[Genetic polymorphism of Malassezia spp. yeast isolates from individuals with and without dermatological lesions].

Introduction: Malassezia spp. yeasts are opportunistic and newly emergent diseases. One or more species have been isolated in association with dermatological pathology and systemic disease.
