Article Synopsis
- Dematiaceous molds are dark environmental molds found worldwide, particularly in tropical and subtropical areas, with common types including Bipolaris, Cladophialophora, Exophiala, and Alternaria.
- These molds can cause a variety of diseases in both healthy and immunocompromised individuals, leading to issues like skin infections, allergic reactions, pneumonia, and sometimes serious systemic infections.
- Treatment generally involves antifungal medications such as itraconazole, voriconazole, or posaconazole, combined with measures to address the source of infection and reduce immune suppression, while efforts are underway to enhance diagnostic methods and treatment options due to high mortality rates associated with severe cases.
Detection of Specific IgE against Molds Involved in Allergic Bronchopulmonary Mycoses in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis.

UMR CNRS 6249 Chrono Environnement, University of Franche-Comté, Besançon, France.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates allergic bronchopulmonary mycoses (ABPM) in patients with cystic fibrosis, focusing on specific IgE responses to five non-Aspergillus molds.
- Researchers analyzed serum samples from 238 patients across several European countries, finding higher levels of specific IgE in these patients compared to healthy controls.
- The findings highlight the need for improved diagnostic tools for ABPM, as several cases were identified using a new scoring system, emphasizing the importance of non-A. fumigatus molds in these conditions.
Clinical Evaluation of VITEK MS PRIME with PICKME Pen for Bacteria and Yeasts, and RUO Database for Filamentous Fungi.

Department of Laboratory Medicine, International St. Mary's Hospital, College of Medicine, Catholic Kwandong University, Incheon 22711, Republic of Korea.
The VITEK MS PRIME (bioMérieux, Marcy-l'Étoile, France), a newly developed matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) system, alongside the VITEK PICKME pen (PICKME), offers easy sample preparation for bacteria and yeasts. The VITEK MS PRIME also offers two software platforms for filamentous fungi: the IVD database and the RUO database. Our study evaluated its identification agreement on 320 clinical isolates of bacteria and yeasts, comparing PICKME and traditional wooden toothpick sampling techniques against MicroIDSys Elite (ASTA) results.

The Mediterranean Sea stands out as a hotspot of biodiversity, whose fungal composition remains underexplored. Marine sediments represent the most diverse substrate; however, the challenge of recovering fungi in culture hinders the precise identification of this diversity. Concentration techniques like skimmed milk flocculation (SMF) could represent a suitable solution.

Milpa is an agroecological production system based on the polyculture of plant species, with corn featuring as a central component. Traditionally, the milpa system does not require the application of chemicals, and so pest attacks and poor growth in poor soils can have adverse effects on its production. Therefore, the application of bioinoculants could be a strategy for improving crop growth and health; however, the effect of external inoculant agents on the endemic microbiota associated with corn has not been extensively studied.
