Book Description
This book is written remembering of medical technologist working in pathology lab with least knowledge of fungi compare to other branches of medical sciences. This book, although, equally good for clinicians and veterinary doctors to know about the fungi of clinical importance and hence, could go for an appropriate treatment. Morphological description with photograph is given for 114 species of fungi to identify the clinical fungi easily and accurately. These fungal belong to following Genera of fungi: Absidia, Acremonium, Acrophialophora, Actinomyces, Actinomadura, Actinomucor Alternaria, Aphanoascus, Arthroderma, Aspergillus, Aureobasidium, Basidiobolus, Beauveria, Bipolaris, Blastomyces, Botrytis, Chaetomium, Chrysosporium, Cladophialophora, Clavispora, Coccidioides, Colletotrichum, Conidiobolous (Entomophthora), Cryptococcus, Cunninghamella, Curvularia, Cyberlindnera, Debaromyces, Diutina, Epidermophyton. Emmonsia, Exophiala, Exserohilum, Fonsecaea, Fusarium, Geotrichum, Histoplasma, Kluveromyces, Laphophyton, Lasiodiplodia, Madurella, Malassezia, Microsphaeropsis, Microsporum, Mortierella, Mucor, Ochroconis, Nocardia, Paecilomyces, Paraphyton, Penicillium, Phoma, Prototheca, Pseudallescheria, Pythium, Rhinocladiella, Rhinosporidium, Rhizomucor, Rhizopus, Rhodotorula, Saccharomyces, Scedosporium, Schyzophyllum, Scopulariopsis, Scytalidium, Sporothrix, Stachybotrys, Stemphylium, Streptomyces, Syncephalastrum, Trichoderma, Trichophyton, Trichosporon, Ulocladium, Veronaea, Verruconis, Verticillium and Wangiella Besides this, a medical mycology lab manual is also given for handling clinical fungi starting from collection to proper isolation and correct identification. Methodology of manual is illustrated to be easily followed by the technicians. A new technique for the isolation of fungi from clinical samples is described here that reduce the possibility of air borne lab contaminations. The lab contaminations are a big problem for determination of fungal pathogens, but this technique almost eliminate the possibility of lab contaminations.Scientific terms used for fungal descriptions are explained in Mycological Terminology section. Questions usually asked about the fungi are given in Frequently Asked Questions section. A sheet is provided to follow step-by-step identification of fungus in "Steps in fungal Identification (Sheet)". How to identify common Candida species by seeing color of Candida species on Chromagar and microscopic morphology is given for rapid identification in "Definitive Identification of Common Pathogenic Candida species on Chromagar and Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA)".

Oxford Textbook of Medical Mycology
Author: Christopher C. Kibbler
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0198755384
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
The Oxford Textbook of Medical Mycology is a comprehensive reference text which brings together the science and medicine of human fungal disease. Written by a leading group of international authors to bring a global expertise, it is divided into sections that deal with the principles of mycology, the organisms, a systems based approach to management, fungal disease in specific patient groups, diagnosis, and treatment. The detailed clinical chapters take account of recent international guidelines on the management of fungal disease. With chapters covering recent developments in taxonomy, fungal genetics and other 'omics', epidemiology, pathogenesis, and immunology, this textbook is well suited to aid both scientists and clinicians. The extensive illustrations, tables, and in-depth coverage of topics, including discussion of the non-infective aspects of allergic and toxin mediated fungal disease, are designed to aid the understanding of mechanisms and pathology, and extend the usual approach to fungal disease. This textbook is essential reading for microbiologists, research scientists, infectious diseases clinicians, respiratory physicians, and those managing immunocompromised patients. Part of the Oxford Textbook in Infectious Disease and Microbiology series, it is also a useful companion text for students and trainees looking to supplement mycology courses and microbiology training.

The Fusarium Laboratory Manual
Author: John F. Leslie
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470276460
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
For the first time in over 20 years, a comprehensive collection of photographs and descriptions of species in the fungal genus Fusarium is available. This laboratory manual provides an overview of the biology of Fusarium and the techniques involved in the isolation, identification and characterization of individual species and the populations in which they occur. It is the first time that genetic, morphological and molecular approaches have been incorporated into a volume devoted to Fusarium identification. The authors include descriptions of species, both new and old, and provide protocols for genetic, morphological and molecular identification techniques. The Fusarium Laboratory Manual also includes some of the evolutionary biology and population genetics thinking that has begun to inform the understanding of agriculturally important fungal pathogens. In addition to practical “how-to” protocols it also provides guidance in formulating questions and obtaining answers about this very important group of fungi. The need for as many different techniques as possible to be used in the identification and characterization process has never been greater. These approaches have applications to fungi other than those in the genus Fusarium. This volume presents an introduction to the genus Fusarium, the toxins these fungi produce and the diseases they can cause. "The Fusarium Laboratory Manual is a milestone in the study of the genus Fusarium and will help bridge the gap between morphological and phylogenetic taxonomy. It will be used by everybody dealing with Fusarium in the Third Millenium." --W.F.O. Marasas, Medical Research Council, South Africa

Clinical Mycology
Author: William E. Dismukes
Publisher:
ISBN: 0195148096
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 534
Book Description
Within the field of infectious diseases, medical mycology has experienced significant growth over the last decade. Invasive fungal infections have been increasing in many patient populations, including: those with AIDS; transplant recipients; and the elderly. As these populations grow, so does the diversity of fungal pathogens. Paralleling this development, there have been recent launches of several new antifungal drugs and therapies. Clinical Mycology offers a comprehensive review of this discipline. Organized by types of fungi, this volume covers microbiologic, epidemiologic and demographic aspects of fungal infections as well as diagnostic, clinical, therapeutic, and preventive approaches. Special patient populations are also detailed.

Identification of Common Aspergillus Species
Author: Maren A. Klich
Publisher: Centraalbureau Voor Schimmelcultures
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
This useful new book provides a morphologically based system for the identification of the more common Aspergillus species as well as several uncommon species, which the author has included to demonstrate the breadth of variability in the genus. The species descriptions are based on new information obtained by recording morphological observations on approximately five isolates of each species. These data was combined with previously published information to create a comprehensive species description. Species descriptions are arranged alphabetically by species name and include colony diameters, colony colors and textures, microscopic characteristics, distinguishing features, taxonomic references, habitats, and, where applicable, common synonyms and major mycotoxins. On the page opposite each species description are photos of the colonies, conidial heads, conidia, and other distinctive features. Scanning electron micrographs are included to give a more three dimensional view of the conidia. -- Morphologically based system for the identification of Aspergillus species -- Over 270 photographs and electron micrographs -- Comprehensive descriptions based on new information obtained by recording morphological observations and previously published information
