Update on antifungal resistance in Aspergillus and Candida [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2014
Antifungal resistance in Candida and Aspergillus may be either intrinsic or acquired and may be encountered in the antifungal drug exposed but also the antifungal drug-naïve patient. Prior antifungal treatment confers a selection pressure and notoriously raises the awareness of possible resistance in patients failing therapy, thus calling for ...

The First Review on Nano‐Agricultural Applications of MXene and MBene‐Based Materials for Plant‐Immunoengineering, Controlled Protection, and Inducing Biostimulation Mechanisms

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
MXene and MBene nanomaterials show significant potential in addressing critical challenges in biomedicine, applied biology, agriculture, and the environment. From a nano‐agricultural perspective, this relatively young field has witnessed emerging advances towards applications for plant‐immunoengineering, biostimulation, and controlled delivery ...

The role of gene copy number variation in antimicrobial resistance in human fungal pathogens

npj Antimicrobials and Resistance
Faced with the burden of increasing resistance to antifungals in many fungal pathogens and the constant emergence of new drug-resistant strains, it is essential to assess the importance of various resistance mechanisms.

Isolation and Characterisation of Bacterial Metabolites as Potential Wood Preservatives [PDF]

, 2012
The durability of wood has traditionally relied on the use of heavy metals and toxic compounds to deter wood degrading fungi. Conventional wood preservatives such as Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA) have been widely used to control wood degrade for many ...

Copper Stress Response of Antibiotic‐Resistant and Copper‐Tolerant Enterococcus faecium and the Antibacterial Efficacy of Functionalized Copper Surfaces

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study examines how different laser‐patterned copper and brass surfaces, including copper coatings, affect the survival of vancomycin‐resistant Enterococcus faecium. Using microscopy and genome analysis, the results show that copper tolerance varies between strains and can increase after vancomycin exposure.

Antimicrobial Multi‐Assay Evaluation of (Al‐Doped ZnO)‐Ag and TiO2‐Ag Nanocoatings: Impact of Direct and Indirect Mechanisms

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This work explores the antimicrobial action of AZO‐Ag and TiO2‐Ag nanocoatings on plastic, demonstrating good efficacy against highly‐critical antibiotic‐resistant bacteria, yeast, and virus. A multi‐assay approach is here exploited to inspect the contribution of direct and indirect antimicrobial mechanisms, and potential human toxicity is also ...

Patterns of culture positivity and antifungal sensitivity in dermatophytosis

MGM Journal of Medical Sciences, 2019
Background: Antifungal drug resistance and a lack of clinical response in 20% of cases of dermatophytosis calls for an evaluation of resistant dermatophytes using a standardized simple and reproducible in vitro assay, to allow clinician to select the ...

A Degradable Device for Sustainable Capillary Blood Sampling

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
The device features a compostable 3D‐printed storage compartment for liquid blood collection and a degradable, poly(ɛ‐caprolactone)‐coated magnesium microneedle patch hidden within a suction cup. Manual compression deploys the MNs, creating small skin punctures, and the subsequent release of compression generates the negative pressure required for ...
