“…The genus Xylaria, although has not been considered in our list for the most well-sampled genera (Table 3), was previously pointed out by Maia et al [62] to be among the most species-rich genera occurring in Brazil and we found a total of 52 OTUs. The ITS sequences of Xylaria from Brazil, 95 in total, are mostly represented by unidentified samples and as part of general studies for exploration of fungal diversity, including few published works [20,[163][164][165][166]. In addition, we acknowledge that the intraspecific ITS variability in the genus can be up to 24.2% [141].…”

Molecular techniques using fungal DNA barcoding (ITS) and other markers have been key to identifying the biodiversity of different geographic areas, mainly in megadiverse countries. Here, we provide an overview of the fungal diversity in Brazil based on DNA markers of phylogenetic importance generated since 1996. We retrieved fungal sequences of ITS, LSU, SSU, tef1-α, β-tubulin, rpb1, rpb2, actin, chitin synthase, and ATP6 from GenBank using different field keywords that indicated their origin in Brazil. A total of 19,440 sequences were recovered. ITS is the most representative marker (11,209 sequences), with 70.1% belonging to Ascomycota, 18.6% Basidiomycota, 10.2% unidentified, 1.1% Mucoromycota, two sequences of Olpidium bornovanus (Fungi incertae sedis), one sequence of Blastocladiomycota (Allomyces arbusculus), and one sequence of Chytridiomycota (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis). Considering the sequences of all selected markers, only the phyla Cryptomycota and Entorrhizomycota were not represented. Based on ITS, using a cutoff of 98%, all sequences comprise 3047 OTUs, with the majority being Ascomycota (2088 OTUs) and Basidiomycota (681 OTUs). Previous numbers based mainly on morphological and bibliographical data revealed 5264 fungal species from Brazil, with a predominance of Basidiomycota (2741 spp.) and Ascomycota (1881 spp.). The unidentified ITS sequences not assigned to a higher taxonomic level represent 1.61% of all ITS sequences sampled and correspond to 38 unknown class-level lineages (75% cutoff). A maximum likelihood phylogeny based on LSU illustrates the fungal classes occurring in Brazil.

“…Important human pathogens included in the hyalohyphomycosis group are Fusarium, Schizophyllum, and Trichoderma species. Two pathogens were observed for the first time as the agent of rhinosinusitis and human infection (X. enteroleuca (10) and T. asperellum, present report). The role of Trichoderma species remains to be elucidated.…”

Descrevemos 27 casos de rinossinusite fúngica causada por agentes não aspergilares diagnosticados em nossa instituição durante um período de 24 anos. O foco do estudo foi o agente causal e fatores predisponentes. Em 20 casos foi isolado o agente fúngico e, em 7, não houve crescimento. A rinossinusite foi classificada em invasiva e não invasiva com base em avaliação clínica, radiológica e histopatológica. Os agentes patogénicos mais comuns foram Histoplasma capsulatum (n = 4), Scedosporium apiospermum (n = 2), Alternaria alternata (n = 2), Schizophyllum commune (n = 2), Pseudallescheria boydii (n = 1), Penicillium sp (n=1), Lichtheimia (Absidia) corymbifera (n = 1), Xylaria enteroleuca (n = 1), Trichoderma asperellum (n = 1), T. harzianum (n = 1), T. viride (n = 1), Fusarium solani (n = 1), Cladosporium sp (n = 1) e Cryptococcus neoformans (n = 1). Os casos em que não ocorreu crescimento foram classificados, com base nos achados histopatológicos, como hialohifomicose (n = 4) e mucormicose (n = 3). Além disso, descrevemos o primeiro caso de rinossinusite humana pelo T. asperellum.

One hundred and forty-eight patients received lung transplantation for various indications. Chronic rhinosinusitis was found in 18.9% (28/148) of the lung transplantation recipients. Of 28 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis, seven patients underwent endoscopic sinus surgery due to persistent post-nasal drip. The recipients with chronic rhinosinusitis who did not receive endoscopic sinus surgery (n = 21) showed a significantly lower survival rate as compared to the patients without chronic rhinosinusitis. There was no statistically significant difference in the survival rate between the recipients with (n = 50) and without (n = 98) paranasal sinus abnormality on computed tomography.
