Histoplasma capsulatum - Wikipedia
Histoplasma capsulatum is an ascomycetous fungus closely related to Blastomyces dermatitidis. It is potentially sexual, and its sexual state, Ajellomyces capsulatus, can readily be produced in culture, though it has not been directly observed in nature.
A Phylogeographic Description of Histoplasma capsulatum in …
2023年8月29日 · We present the phylogeographic structure of H. capsulatum within the United States by utilizing clinical isolates obtained from a previous enhanced surveillance study of histoplasmosis patients from eight U.S. states .
Histoplasma capsulatum | Johns Hopkins ABX Guide - Hopkins …
2024年7月13日 · Dimorphic growth: Depending on the situation, H. capsulatum may grow as a mold or yeast. Mold form predominates in the environment (or in vitro when incubated at < 35°C). Aerial hyphae: long tubular structures. Macroconidia: thick-walled spherical structures 8-15 μm diameter with surface projections.
Histoplasma capsulatum - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Histoplasma capsulatum. Histoplasma capsulatum is a thermally dimorphic fungus that is found in soil enriched with nitrogen from decaying bird or bat droppings or other decaying organic matter. Exposure is often related to activities which disturb soil or droppings such as landscaping, building demolition or spelunking.

2023年8月8日 · Histoplasma capsulatum (Hc) is a dimorphic fungus present worldwide in pockets of endemicity particularly associated with river valleys. The endemic regions in the United States are Ohio and Mississippi river valleys as well as southeastern states.
Frontiers | Histoplasma capsulatum Glycans From Distinct …
2021年1月7日 · We have demonstrated that Histoplasma capsulatum (Hc) yeast cells promptly attach cellular and extracellular glycans of Cryptococcus neoformans (Cn) onto its cell wall in vitro and in vivo, which enhanced Hc virulence, by transferring the antiphagocytic, immune inhibitory and biofilm inducing properties of these cryptococcal polysaccharides to ...
Peptidogalactomannan from Histoplasma capsulatum yeast cell …
Peptidogalactomannan (pGM) was purified from the yeast cell wall of H. capsulatum isolated from bats, and its structure and involvement in modulating the host immune response were evaluated. Gas chromatography, methylation analysis, and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (2D-NMR) were used for the structural characterization of pGM.

6 天之前 · Histoplasma capsulatum‘s complex structure allows it to adapt to different environments and evade the host’s immune system. The fungal cell wall comprises several layers that provide protection and rigidity to the cell. The outermost layer is made of mannoproteins responsible for interacting with the host’s immune system.
