, N.C.) AND BERNARD F. FETTER. Experimental infection in the rabbit with Trichosporon capitatum. J. Bacteriol. 84:961-966. 1962.-Fifteen New Zealand white rabbits were inoculated intravenously with a saline suspension of spores and hyphal fragments of Trichosporon capitatum. Nine of the animals succumbed spontaneously. The others were sacrificed at varying intervals. Autopsies revealed mycotic abscesses in the kidneys, which ruptured through into the tubules. The fungus also invaded the brain and heart, where it evoked a mixed reaction. The organism was recovered from the animals at the time of autopsy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
