Resumo: | Cryptococcocus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii are closely related pathogenic fungi that cause pneumonia and meningitis in both immunocompromised and immunocompetent hosts. Both species are found in the environment, and are acquired via inhalation, leading to an initial pulmonary infection. We evaluated 48 air samples and 32 samples of pigeon excreta from June to August, 2007. The presence of capsule was examined with Indian ink preparation. They were also tested for urease and phenoloxidase enzymes. Cryptococcus neoformans was recovered from pigeon excreta in 3.1%. The results suggest that climatic conditions can affect the occurrence of the yeast in different environmental sources. |

Ambas as espécies são encontradas no meio ambiente e adquiridas via inalação, ocasionando uma infecção pulmonar inicial. Foram avaliadas 48 amostras de ar e 32 amostras de fezes de pombos entre junho e agosto de 2007. A presença de cápsula foi examinada pela microscopia com Tinta Nanquim. As amostras também foram testadas para produção de urease e da enzima fenoloxidase. Cryptococcus neoformans foi isolado em 3,1% de fezes de pombos. Os resultados sugerem que condições climáticas podem afetar a ocorrência da levedura em diferentes fontes ambientais.Revista Brasileira Multidisciplinar - ReBraM2009-01-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://revistarebram.com/index.php/revistauniara/article/view/15810.25061/2527-2675/ReBraM/2009.v12i2.158Revista Brasileira Multidisciplinar - ReBraM; v. 12 n. 2 (2009): Julho-Dez; 67-782527-26751415-3580reponame:Revista Brasileira Multidisciplinarinstname:Universidade de Araraquara (UNIARA)instacron:UNIARAporhttp://revistarebram.com/index.php/revistauniara/article/view/158/129Rezende, Cátiada Silva, Eliani RodriguesGomes, Alexandre Henrique FrotaMizziara, Renata CamachoSilva, João Edson dainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2018-07-11T12:39:13Zoai:ojs.revistarebram.com:article/158Revistahttp://revistarebram.com/index.php/revistauniaraPRIhttps://revistarebram.com/index.php/revistauniara/oairevistauniara@uniara.com||2527-26752527-2675opendoar:2018-07-11T12:39:13Revista Brasileira Multidisciplinar - Universidade de Araraquara (UNIARA)false |
