Sialic acids consist of a family of acidic ninecarbon sugars that are typically located at the
terminal positions of a variety of glycoconjugates. Naturally occurring sialic acids show an …

Sporothrix schenckii, now named the S. schenckii species complex, has largely been known

Paracoccidioides brasiliensis causes one of the most prevalent systemic mycoses in Latin
America–paracoccidioidomycosis. It is a dimorphic fungus that undergoes a complex …

The dimorphic fungus Candida albicans secretes farnesol, which acts as a quorum‐sensing
molecule and prevents the yeast to mycelium conversion. In this study we examined the …

The members of the laminin family of heterotrimers are major constituents of all basement

The antifungals that are in current clinical practice have a high occurrence of a side effect
and multidrug resistance (MDR). Researchers across the globe are trying to develop a …

Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and P. lutzii are etiologic agents of paracoccidioidomycosis
(PCM), an important endemic mycosis in Latin America. During its evolution, these fungi …
