Caracterização fenotípica de cepas dentro do complexo Sporothrix schenckii e correlação com as formas clínicas da esporotricose

Abstract

Sporotrichosis is a fungal disease, of subacute or chronic character of man and of animals, responsible for the fungi belonging to the Sporothrix schenckii complex. Rating: 0.0 Increase in the number of risk cases in a public hospital in João Pessoa, a phenotypic study was conducted to know the species that affect the patients in this region. To the we were used 24 strains of patients patients in University Hospital, where an epidemiological analysis was done. Among the phenotypic parameters analyzed the vegetative growth in PDA at different temperatures, in vitro micromorphological characteristics and the assimilation pattern of carbon sources. As in a recent epidemiological analysis, the highest occurrence of the disease in females (66.7% of cases), in relation to sex, is the highest occurrence of lymphococcal disease (54.2% of cases) in relation to clinical forms . Macromorphological analysis showed an increase in mean concentrations of 43.5 mm at 30 ° C, 29.4 mm at 35 ° C and 10.1 mm at 37 ° C, with growth inhibition at only 40 ° C. inhibition was 36.5% at 35 ° C and 76.5% at 37 ° C. At micromorphology similar conidia were similarly present with the presence of pigmented sessile conidia in their entirety. The profile of assimilation, present itself discordant with a taxonomic raffinose and sucrose sugars in some samples, whereas the ribitolía variable assimilation. As pathogenic species were S. schenckii and S. brasiliensis, which were correlated as consensus forms, whereas S. schenckii were the most prevalent among the forms. the clinics. Although the phenotypic characteristic is important for the understanding of the characteristics of the fungus, this one has some flaws, this form, is necessary for the accomplishment of studies on the subject to be able to intervene in a more effective way regarding the treatment of sporotrichosis in this region.
