Occurrence and pathogenicity of
the fungi Rhodotorula spp.
Abstract:
The
fungi
Rhodotorula are ubiquitous in the
human environment. Until recently,
they were considered to be saprophytes and/or biological material
contaminants. Out of fifty species belonging to this genus, only three
are pathogenic. An increase in the number of infections has
been
reported in the recent years because of the growing
number of patients
in the risk groups. The analysis of the documented infections has
provided evidence that the main predisposing factors are indwelling
central venous catheters. In this study, we describe the
systematics,
genetics and morphology as well as the diagnostics, occurrence and
epidemiology of the fungi. The susceptibility of Rhodotorula
to
antifungal agents and the patterns of treatment of Rhodotorula
infections are also presented.
