#POTD Kodameae ohmeri Kodamaea ohmeri grown on SabDex Agar at 30 C. An emerging human pathogen that has been shown to cause fungemia, endocarditis, funguria, and peritonitis in immunocompromised patients. It is resistant to most of the antifungal drugs.

#POTD Yeast Fur? Candida albicans has the ability to form hyphae. When given space on a YPD agar plate, it can spread to take up that space. This organism was inoculated on the surface in a streak and, after an initial incubation at 30C, was incubated at 25C for three weeks. The appearance of the C. albicans as it spreads looks like fur or hair. Photo taken from our site www.microbeworld.org. Submitted by: CCASSILLY Thanks to the authors: C.

Pic of the Day: Schistosoma mansoni parasite In 2009 researchers from the UT Health Science Center San Antonio and other institutions crack the genetic code of Schistosoma mansoni, a flatworm that can live up to 10 years on average in humans. The parasite is endemic in many tropical areas of the world. Nature (16-Jul-2009) This photo was taken from our site www.microbeworld.org.
