Blastocystis sp. is a common intestinal microorganism. The α-L-fucosidase (ALFuc) is an enzyme long associated with the colonization of the gut microbiota. However, this enzyme has not been experimentally identified in Blastocystis cultures. The objective of the present study was to identify ALFuc in supernatants of axenic cultures of Blastocystis ...

Introduction Blastocystis sp. est un protozoaire colonisant le tube digestif de l’Homme et de nombreux animaux et il est à ce jour le parasite le plus fréquemment retrouvé dans les selles humaines. Dans certains pays en développement, sa prévalence dans les populations étudiées peut dépasser 50 %. Sur le plan morphologique, les isolats de Blastocys...

Blastocystis sp. is an enteric protist commonly found in human fecal samples. In Brazil, few studies have been developed, but none of them has explored the presence of Blastocystis in patients with diabetes mellitus. We evaluated the occurrence and molecular identification of Blastocystis sp. among patients with diabetes mellitus in the Midwest reg...

La Blastocystosis es una patología que tiene como agente etiológico al Blastocytos sp. Especie que se encuentra en animales y que es transmitida a humanos por medio de la zoonosis producida por factores de riesgo que desarrollaran la infección parasitaria, provocan manifestaciones clínicas como: cuadro diarreico agudo, acompañado de otros signos y ...

Patients with multiple recurrent Clostridioides difficile infections (rCDI) are treated with fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), using feces provided by healthy donors. Blastocystis colonization of donors is considered an exclusion criterion, whereas its pathogenicity is still under debate. The introduction of molecular screening for Blastocyst...

Blastocystis sp. is a protist commonly found in stool samples of humans and animals. Biological and genetic factors of this organism remain controversial. The present study aimed to develop and implement the Blastocystis in vitro culture of Brazilian human isolates for routine use. The fecal isolates (n = 20) were maintained in our laboratory by se...

Blastocystis is a parasite that colonizes in the human intestine. Its clinical features include diarrhea, abdominal pain, or urticarial and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Spite of being significant genetic diversity and numerous subtypes within the genus there were no associations between its subtypes and symptomatology. Aim of this project was su...
