In this study, 16.1% of cases were catheterrelated, 67.7% had positive blood (54.8%) or CSF (12.9%) cultures.…”

“…Ferreira-Paim et al (2012) were the first to describe hemolysin production by the former C. laurentii isolates obtained from pigeon droppings. The fact that non-C. gattii/ neoformans species complex strains are able to efficiently produce hemolysins may partially explain the reason why these species are more frequently described in cases of fungemia, rather than meningeal or deep-seated tissue infections (Londero et al, 2019). Conversely, phospholipase production has been largely reported for C. gattii/C.…”

Cryptococcosis is an infectious disease of worldwide distribution, caused by encapsulated yeasts belonging to the phylum Basidiomycota. The genus Cryptococcus includes several species distributed around the world. The C. gattii/neoformans species complex is largely responsible for most cases of cryptococcosis. However, clinical series have been published of infections caused by Papiliotrema (Cryptococcus) laurentii and Naganishia albida (Cryptococcus albidus), among other related genera. Here, we examined the pathogenic potential and antifungal susceptibility of C. gattii/neoformans species complex (clades I and II) and related genera (Papiliotrema and Naganishia) isolated from environmental and clinical samples. P. laurentii (clade III), N. liquefasciens/N. albidosimilis (clade IV); and N. adeliensis/N. albida (clade V) strains produced higher levels of phospholipase and hemolysins, whereas the C. gattii/neoformans species complex strains (clades I and II) had markedly thicker capsules, produced more biofilm biomass and melanin, which are known virulence attributes. Interestingly, 40% of C. neoformans strains (clade II) had MICs above the ECV established for this species to amphotericin B. Several non-C. gattii/neoformans species complex (clades III to V) had MICs equal to or above the ECVs established for C. deuterogattii and C. neoformans for all the three antifungal drugs tested. Finally, all the non-C. gattii/neoformans clinical isolates (clades III to V) produced more melanin than the environmental isolates might reflect their particularly enhanced need for melanin during in vivo protection. It is very clear that C. gattii/neoformans species complex (clades I and II) strains, in general, show more similar virulence phenotypes between each other when compared to non-C. gattii/neoformans species complex (clades III to V) isolates. These observations together with the fact that P. laurentii and Naganishia spp. (clades III to V) strains were collected from the outside of a University Hospital, identify features of these yeasts important for environmental and patient colonization and furthermore, define mechanisms for infections with these uncommon pathogens.

“…The majority of the studies on Papiliotrema species regards P. laurentii (previously known as C. laurentii ), which is often reported as a beneficial promising yeast in biological control of plant pathogens ( Lima et al 1998 ; Castoria et al 2003 ; Qin and Tian 2005 ; Zhang et al 2017 ; De Curtis et al 2019 ). However, it was also reported as a human pathogen in immunocompromised patients [review in Londero et al (2019) ]. The latter finding might be due to the characteristics of the yeast itself as a basidiomycetes, which are characterized by high phenotypic plasticity as observed in closely-related Cryptococcus pathogenic species ( C. neoformans, C. deneoformans , and C. gattii ) ( D'Souza et al 2011 ; Li et al 2012 ), or more simply it is the consequence of erroneous identification based only on biochemical tests, which cannot discriminate between very closely related species.…”

Papiliotrema terrestris strain LS28 is a biocontrol agent (BCA) selected for its antagonistic activity against several plant pathogens both in the field and postharvest. The availability of a genome sequencing sets the foundation for the identification of the genetic mechanisms of its antagonistic activity. The genome size is 21.29 Mbp with a G + C content of 58.65%, and genome annotation predicts 8,626 protein-encoding genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on whole genome data confirms that P. terrestris is a Tremellomycetes more closely related to P. flavescens than P. laurentii.

“…Basidiomycota (Malassezia restricta, Cryptococcus heimaeyensis, Papiliotrema laurentii, and Apiotrichum veenhuisii) and Ascomycota (Graphium basitruncatum, Purpureocillium lavendulum, Aspergillus avus, Monocillium indicum, and Hirsutella vermicola) were the dominant potentially pathogenic fungal phyla and species in the guts from the geese at both lakes. In humans, Malassezia restricta can cause Crohn's disease, Cryptococcus heimaeyensis can cause respiratory disease, and Papiliotrema laurentii can cause immune system diseases [26][27][28][29]. Apiotrichum veenhuisii can potentially cause skin disease [30].…”

Background：Gut microbiota play major roles in host nutrition and metabolism, but can also cause serious diseases among animals and humans. Recent studies have focused on gut bacterial diversity in migratory waterbirds; however, little information about their gut fungal communities has been reported.Results: In this study, we investigated the gut fungal communities of Anser erythropus wintering at either Shengjin Lake or Caizi Lake, China, using high-throughput sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) gene region. The operational taxonomic units (OTUs) from the Shengjin Lake geese represented seven phyla and 27 classes; those from the Caizi Lake geese comprised seven phyla and 28 classes. Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Zygomycota, and Rozellomycota were the dominant gut fungal phyla. Gut fungal community composition showed dramatic differences between the two populations. The Shengjin Lake geese ate mainly Poaceae spp., whereas the Caizi Lake geese ate mainly Carex spp., suggesting that different diets may induce variation in gut fungal communities between these populations. Additionally, nine potentially pathogenic species were identified across all samples, and their relative abundances were significantly higher in the Shengjin Lake samples than the Caizi Lake samples.Conclusions: The results indicated that gut fungal community were significant differences between Anser erythropus wintering at Shengjin and Caizi Lakes. Between Caizi Lake and Shengjin Lake, the geese in our study group consumed food that differed in type and quality maybe lead the gut fungi varied markedly between the geese from each lake. These findings expand our knowledge of gut fungi in waterbirds and suggest that the gut fungal communities differed in two wintering populations of the same species. This study provides basic data for the composition and structure of gut fungi of wintering waterbirds, and we argue that more attention should be paid to investigating the pathogenic gut species of migratory waterbirds, which may increase disease risks for sympatric poultry as well as humans.
