Summary Introduction

To determine:

  1. The fungal species that would have caused burn like sin reaction with peeled of skin.
  2. What factors can be corelated about the portal of entry and gender of and person.

Introduction:

Since the skin rash appeared like a burn and the skin had peeled off it might be candidiasis.

Culture using Sabouraud's dextrose agar medium d. Direct examination
Why do yeasts generally have to be cultured for longer periods than most bacteria? Can bacteriological media be used for the cultivation of molds? Explain your answer. What is the difference between vegetative and aerial mycelia? What are the three classes of antifungal drugs based on their mechanism/site of action? Describe the mode of action of each class. Name one fungal virulence factors that promote fungal colonization. Explain the mechanism. Name one fungal virulence factors that damage the host. Explain the mechanism.
Case history . A male researcher wanting to determine the pathogenesis of a certain fungus that often attacks women did the following experiment on himself. He taped a piece of gauze heavily inoculated with the fungus to the inside of his thigh and left it there for several days, periodically moistening it with sterile saline. After a time, he experienced a severe skin reaction that resembled a burn and the skin peeled off. a. Suggest a species of fungus that can cause this effect. b. What does this experiment tell you about the factors in pathogenesis related to portal of entry and gender?
