Recently, mycetoma was added to the World Health Organization's list of neglected tropical disease priorities. Fusarium as a genus has been reported to cause eumycetoma, but little is known about the species involved in this infection and their identification. In this study, molecular tools were applied to identify Fusarium agents from human eumycetoma cases. The partial translation elongation factor 1-alpha (TEF-1α) gene was used as diagnostic parameter. Two additional cases of eumycetoma, due to F. keratoplasticum and F. pseudensiforme, respectively, are presented. A systematic literature review was performed to assess general features, identification, treatment and outcome of eumycetoma infections due to Fusarium species. Of the 20 reviewed patients, the majority (75%) were male. Most agents belonged to the F. solani species complex, ie F. keratoplasticum, F. pseudensiforme, and an undescribed lineage of F. solani. In addition, F. thapsinum, a member of Fusarium fujikuroi species complex was encountered. The main antifungal drugs used were itraconazole, ketoconazole and amphotericin B, but cure rates were low (15%). Partial response or relapse was observed in some cases, and a case ended in amputation. Clinical management of eumycetoma due to Fusarium is complex and combination therapy might be required to increase cure rates.

Subcutaneous mycosis includes a heterogeneous group of fungal infections that develop at the site of transcutaneous trauma. A rise in surviving population of individuals with co-morbidities together with lapses in infection control practices especially in rural India has led to emergence of myriad species of fungi causing such infections in recent years. This poses a diagnostic challenge to the clinicians. We therefore felt a need to study the mycological profile of subcutaneous tissue biopsies suspected of fungal etiology in our hospital setup. This was a Retrospective cross-sectional observational study conducted for a period of 4 years from Jan 2015 to Jan 2019 in the Department of microbiology, Government medical College Srinagar. A total of 148 specimens of subcutaneous tissue biopsies of patients suspected of localized fungal Infection were processed by microscopy and culture for fungi. Among a total of 148 subcutaneous tissue biopsy samples 76 (51%) were positive for fungi on KOH and culture. Mycological profile revealed that majority of fungi were Dermatophytes (n=22; 29%) and Yeasts (n=21; 28%). Third most common causative fungi isolated were Chromoblastomycetes (n=8; 11%), Phaeohyphomycetes (n=8;11%) and Aspergilli (n=8;11 %) comprising, A.fumigatus (n=11) and A.terreus (n=03), followed by Hyalohypomycetes (n=4;5%), sporotrichosis (n=3;4%) and Zygomycetes (n=4 ;5.3%). : Dermatophytes and yeasts are emerging subcutaneous fungal infections. Active surveillance for all types of fungal infections should be done at all levels to address knowledge gaps that exist in etiology, pathogenesis and manifestations of fungal diseases of skin and subcutaneous tissue.

“…Macroscopic observation for morphological identification purposes was conducted by culturing the selected fungi on PDA (OXOID CM0139) agar for 7 days. Their morphology on the agar plate was then observed based on the texture, structure, edge of the culture and elevation of the culture [14,15,42].…”

This study aims to increase the in vitro ruminal degradability of oil palm fronds (OPFs) through enzymatic pretreatment. The isolated fungi were selected based on their lignocellulosic degrading enzyme activities. Eleven fungi were successfully isolated, and their enzyme activities were evaluated. Three fungi, F1, F2 and F4 were selected, and they were identified as Trichoderma harzianum MK027305, Trichoderma harzianum MK027306 and Fusarium solani MK027309, respectively. The highest total gas and methane production was produced when OPFs were pretreated with an enzyme extract from 15 and 30 days of solid-state fermentation of T. harzianum MK027305 and T. harzianum MK027306, respectively. Meanwhile, OPFs pretreated with an enzyme extract from F. solani MK027309 after 45 days of solid-state fermentation produced the highest amount of volatile fatty acids. The pretreatment using the enzymes extracted from 45 days of solid-state fermentation of F. solani MK027309 increases the apparent rumen degradable carbohydrate (ARDC) by 35.29% compared to unpretreated OPF. This study showed that pretreatment of the OPFs using selected fungi’s enzymes increases the volatile fatty acid production and in vitro ruminal degradability of OPF, hence improving livestock production via increased utilization of agricultural by-products with minimal impact on the production cost.
