RESUMO

Resumen Introducción: Blanco de calcoflúor (BCF) es una tinción fluorescente que permite observar estructuras micóticas en distintas muestras clínicas gracias a la afinidad que tiene por la quitina. La microscopía en campo oscuro facilita la visualización correcta de los patógenos lo que favorece el diagnóstico oportuno y correcto de los pacientes. Por lo tanto, este trabajo tiene como objetivo evaluar la capacidad de identificación de estructuras micóticas en diferentes muestras biológicas de la coloración de blanco de calcoflúor. Materiales y métodos: se evaluaron 36 muestras biológicas (flujo vaginal, lavado broncoalveolar, líquido cefalorraquídeo, escamas, orina, córnea, hemocultivo y biopsia) en busca de hongos. Todas las muestras fueron procesadas por medio de las tres técnicas: hidróxido de potasio (KOH) al 20%, cultivo micológico y blanco de calcoflúor. Resultados: la técnica de KOH dio un resultado positivo en 58,3% de los casos, el cultivo en el 69,4% y la tinción con blanco de calcoflúor en el 72,2%. La sensibilidad y la especificidad de la técnica de BCF frente al KOH fue de 95% y 67% respectivamente, mientras que frente cultivo micológico fue de 100% y 91%. Conclusiones: este estudio demuestra que la técnica de BCF es un buen método para la identificación de estructuras micóticas en las muestras clínicas debido a que demostró una alta sensibilidad y especificidad en relación con el método tradicional y el cultivo.


Abstract Objective: calcofluor white (CFW) is a fluorescent stain that allows observing fungal structures in different clinical samples thanks to its affinity for chitin. Darkfield microscopy facilitates the correct visualization of pathogens, favoring patients' timely and correct diagnosis. therefore, this work aims to evaluate the capacity for identifying mycotic structures in different biological samples of CFW staining. Materials and methods: thirty-six biological samples (vaginal fluid, bronchoalveolar lavage, cerebrospinal fluid, scales, urine, cornea, blood culture, and biopsy) were evaluated for fungi. All samples were processed by the three techniques: potassium hydroxide 20% (KOH), mycological culture and CFW. Results: KOH technique gave a positive result in 58.3% of the cases, culture in 69.4% and CFW staining in 72.2%. The sensitivity and specificity of the CFW technique against KOH were 95% and 67%, while against mycological culture was 100% and 91%. Conclusions: this study demonstrates that the BCF technique is a suitable method for identifying fungal structures in clinical specimens because it showed high sensitivity and specificity relative to the traditional method and culture.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT The driving forces behind many soil processes are microorganisms and they are able to respond immediately to environmental changes. The soil microbial community impacts on many soil properties. More than one-third of the terrestrial ecosystems are semiarid. However, a limited number of studies have been conducted to characterize soil fungal communities in semiarid grasslands, in particular those of agricultural fields. The aim of this study was to explore changes in the diversity and structure of soil fungal communities in semiarid grasslands, after different doses of glyphosate were applied under field conditions. Changes in soil fungal communities were examined using different approaches including culturing, calcofluor white stain and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). The different approaches complement each other, revealing different aspects of the effect of glyphosate on soil fungal communities. We demonstrated a negative effect of glyphosate on soil fungal biomass at high doses and an early and transitory stimulatory effect on soil fungal biomass. We also found a negative effect of glyphosate on the species richness of cultivable fungi and changes in the molecular structure of soil fungal communities after double doses or long-term glyphosate application. In summary, our findings demonstrate an overall negative effect of glyphosate on soil fungal communities.


RESUMEN Los microorganismos del suelo son los responsables de llevar a cabo la mayoría de los procesos biológicos que ocurren en el suelo, y son capaces de reaccionar ante el estrés ambiental. Más de un tercio de los ecosistemas terrestres son semiáridos. Sin embargo, son escasos los estudios realizados para caracterizar las comunidades fúngicas en suelos agrícolas en ecosistemas semiáridos. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue estudiar los cambios que se producen en la biomasa, la diversidad y la estructura de las comunidades fúngicas del suelo, luego de la aplicación de distintas dosis de glifosato en condiciones de campo. Se emplearon diferentes técnicas incluidas el cultivo, la tinción directa con blanco de calcoflúor y PCR acoplada a electroforesis en geles de gradiente desnaturalizante (DGGE). Las distintas metodologías empleadas se complementan entre sí al detectar cada una distintos aspectos del efecto del glifosato en las comunidades fúngicas del suelo. Se encontró que el glifosato produce un efecto negativo sobre la biomasa fúngica, también se encontró un efecto transitorio estimulante inmediatamente posterior a la aplicación del herbicida. Además, se vio un efecto negativo sobre la riqueza de hongos cultivables, así como también cambios en la estructura molecular de las comunidades luego de aplicaciones repetidas. En conclusión, se demostró un efecto negativo generalizado sobre las comunidades fúngicas del suelo.
