Caspofungin in vitro and in vivo activity against Brazilian Pythium insidiosum strains isolated from animals

Abstract: The results showed that caspofungin has limited fungistatic activity against P. insidiosum. This work is the first study to analyse the susceptibility of this oomycete to inhibitors of beta-glucans of the cellular wall.

“…Much has been studied on the treatment of equine cutaneous pythiosis, from traditional antifungals, state-of-the-art antimycotics, antibiotic therapy, surgery and immunotherapy; however, none of the treatments studied have given satisfactory results in terms of producing a complete solution for the disease (5,17,21,22). Se ha estudiado mucho sobre el tratamiento de la pythiosis cutánea equina, desde antimicóticos tradicionales, antimicóticos de última generación, antibioticoterapia, cirugía e inmunoterapia, sin embargo, ninguno de los tratamientos estudiados ha dado resultados satisfactorios en el sentido de obtener una solución completa para la enfermedad (5,17,21,22).…”

“…Esse trabalho relata, comparativamente, a dinâmica e o perϐil da pitiose em hospedeiros bovinos e equinos, além de enfatizar os aspectos epidemiológicos da doença no Pantanal Matogrossense, Brasil. (Pereira et al 2007). Adicionalmente, realizou-se caracterização molecular (PCR) nos tecidos, segundo Botton et al (2011), com primer especíϐico para P. insidiosum.…”

“…Selected sections of jejunal lesions were immunostained with a rabbit polyclonal antibody against Pythium insidiosum by using a labeled streptavidin-biotin peroxidase technique as previously described (Pedroso et al, 2009). The antibody was produced by the Laboratório de Pesquisas Micológicas at the Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (LAPEMI-UFSM) and the procedure was approved by the Animal Welfare Committee at the Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (Pereira et al, 2007). Positive and negative controls consisted of tissues infected by culture-confirmed Pythium insidiosum and Conidiobolus spp., respectively.…”
