Geotrichosis, caused by the Geotrichum species, particularly Geotrichum candidum, is a rare fungal infection that poses challenges in both diagnosis and therapy. Our company stands out in the field of infectious diseases like geotrichosis by offering unparalleled one-stop services tailored to researchers and scientists.
Overview of Geotrichosis
Geotrichosis is an infrequent opportunistic fungal infection that predominantly impacts individuals with compromised immune systems, such as those with HIV/AIDS, cancer patients, or recipients of organ transplants. This fungus, bearing resemblances to other common pathogens like Candida species, can manifest in diverse forms, including pulmonary, cutaneous, gastrointestinal, and disseminated infections.

Pathogenesis of Geotrichosis
Geotrichum is a yeast-like fungus, often found in soil, water, and dairy products. Geotrichum typically enters the body through inhalation or ingestion of spores and can manifest in various forms, including pulmonary, cutaneous, gastrointestinal, and disseminated infections. In immunocompromised individuals, the fungus can spread from the initial site of infection to other organs, leading to potentially life-threatening complications.
Vaccine and Therapeutic Development for Geotrichosis
Vaccine of Geotrichosis
Fungal vaccines face challenges due to the complexity of fungal pathogens and the variability in immune responses they evoke, the development of geotrichosis vaccine still be in the early stages.
Therapeutic of Geotrichosis
Therapy of geotrichosis typically involves antifungal medications, such as amphotericin B, voriconazole, posaconazole, and micafungin. In severe cases, combination therapy may be necessary.

Infectious Disease Models
Animal models play a crucial role in studying the pathogenesis, therapy, and prevention of infectious diseases. Our company offers a variety of animal models of geotrichosis for you to gain valuable insights into the pathogenesis of geotrichosis, test novel therapy strategies, and develop effective interventions.
Animal models can be tailored to mimic different aspects of geotrichosis, including pulmonary, cutaneous, gastrointestinal, and disseminated infections, allowing researchers to study various disease manifestations.
Optional Models: Mouse model inoculated with Geotrichum candidum, etc.
