Article Synopsis
- The Amsterdam Declaration on Fungal Nomenclature was established during a 2011 symposium to address naming issues in pleomorphic fungi, especially considering the rise of molecular data in classification.
- It emphasizes creating a unified naming system for fungi, advocating for the priority of the first described name while providing mechanisms for protecting names that may become endangered.
- The declaration also suggests that contentious naming cases be reviewed by the ICTF and discusses governance issues and the naming of fungi identified only through environmental genetic sequences, proposing future amendments to the Draft BioCode.
Objectives: Bovine mammary protothecosis is a serious pathology that entails high economic losses in the dairy industry. The disease, the frequency of which has recently been increasing worldwide, is caused by unicellular, achlorophyllous, yeast-like algae of two species: Prototheca zopfii and Prototheca blaschkeae. The objective of this study was to investigate the in vitro activity of a panel of conventional antifungal drugs against Prototheca spp.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA large scale screening of the in vitro susceptibility of 105 strains of Prototheca zopfii to a panel of polyene antibiotics (amphotericin B, nystatin, primaricin and filipin) was conducted. Strains studied were isolated from dairy-associated environments in five different localities. Groups 1-4 included strains recovered from four separate regions of Italy, while group 5 included isolates from Belgium.
