Isolation of from the Oral Cavity of Immunocompetent Young Adults from the North of Mexico.

Unlabelled: The human oral cavity is normally colonized by microorganisms including bacteria, fungi, archaea, viruses and protozoa. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of spp., in de oral cavity in a group of medical students from the north of Mexico.

A comparative study of extracellular enzymes from chromoblastomycosis agents reveals the potential association of phospholipase with the severity of the lesions.

Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic, progressive subcutaneous mycosis that is endemic in tropical and subtropical countries. Cladophialophora carrionii and Fonsecaea pedrosoi are prevalent etiological agents. The potential role of the proteolytic activity of extracellular enzymes in these fungi and its relationship with the pathogenesis of the disease has not been proven.
