First ‐time isolation and quantification of Basidiobolus spp. from reptile faeces in KwaZulu‐Natal (South Africa) using selective media
SummaryMembers of the genusBasidiobolus are potentially pathogenic fungi, known to cause mycoses in tropical and subtropical countries.Basidiobolus spp. can be associated with animals, and reptiles and amphibians are candidate vectors for the distribution of this fungus. The presence ofBasidiobolus spp. was described for different reptiles in several African countries, although not for South Africa. In addition, quantitative data are scarce. The aim of this study was to analyse faeces of selected South African reptiles for the presence and quantity of “viableBasidiobolus units. ” Faecal samples of gecko and agama lizar...

Genotypic diversity and antifungal susceptibility of Cryptococcus neoformans isolates from paediatric patients in China
AbstractCryptococcosis is a life ‐threatening mycosis primarily occurring in adult patients particularly those with immunosuppression such as HIV infection/AIDS. The number of reported cases of paediatric cryptococcosis has increased in the last decade around the world, including China. However, current information on the charact eristics of cryptococcosis in children, particularly the genotypic diversity and antifungal susceptibility of the isolates, is limited. In the present study, a total of 25 paediatric isolates ofCryptococcus neoformans were genotyped using the ISHAM ‐MLST scheme. In vitro susceptibility to anti...
