20.500.12556/DiRROS-20134 The genus Wallemia - from contamination of food to health threat The fungal genus Wallemia of the order Wallemiales (Wallemiomycotina, Basidiomycota) comprises the most xerotolerant, xerophilic and also halophilic species worldwide. Wallemia spp. are found in various osmotically challenged environments, such as dry, salted, or highly sugared foods, dry feed, hypersaline waters of solar salterns, salt crystals, indoor and outdoor air, and agriculture aerosols. Recently, eight species were recognized for the genus Wallemia, among which four are commonly associated with foods: W. sebi, W. mellicola, W. muriae and W. ichthyophaga. To date, only strains of W. sebi, W. mellicola and W. muriae have been reported to be related to human health problems, as either allergological conditions (e.g., farmer’s lung disease) or rare subcutaneous/cutaneous infections. Therefore, this allergological and infective potential, together with the toxins that the majority of Wallemia spp. produce even under saline conditions, defines these fungi as filamentous food-borne pathogenic fungi. food air pathogen xerophile halophile mycotoxin farmerʼs lung disease subcutaneous infection Wallemia true false true Angleški jezik Latinski jezik Neznano 2024-08-06 09:34:55 2024-08-06 09:34:56 2024-08-08 03:47:34 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2018 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 25. 5. 2018; str. 1-10 iss. 2 Vol. 6 2018 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2018-05-21 579 2076-2607 10.3390/microorganisms6020046 4702287 http://www.mdpi.com/2076-2607/6/2/46 1 a2765212-53b5-11ef-b487-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=28104 RAZ_Zajc_Janja_2018.pdf RAZ_Zajc_Janja_2018.pdf 1 CA3C0526A956D2F99088EB7C4B2C718D 9fd92cef77156f9f85d6764898ae5d3a49b485167677c6324f8b25f1d055599f c9a590fb-53b5-11ef-b487-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=28105 https://doi.org/10.3390/microorganisms6020046 0 d2bb523a-53b5-11ef-b487-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=28106 Nacionalni inštitut za biologijo 0 0 0
