Candidiasis and Mechanisms of Antifungal Resistance [PDF]
Antibiotics, 2020 Candidiasis can be present as a cutaneous, mucosal or deep-seated organ infection, which is caused by more than 20 types of Candida sp., with C. albicans being the most common. These are pathogenic yeast and are usually present in the normal microbiome.

In vitro antifungal susceptibility methods and clinical implications of antifungal resistance [PDF]
Medical Mycology, 2000 As new antifungal agents are introduced for the treatment of infections caused by yeasts and filamentous fungi (moulds), it is important that reliable methods are available for the in vitro testing of both new and established agents. The ultimate goal of in vitro testing is the prediction of the clinical outcome of therapy.

An update on antifungal resistance in dermatophytosis
Expert Opinion on PharmacotherapyThe reports of resistance to antifungal agents used for treating onychomycosis and other superficial fungal infections are increasing. This rise in antifungal resistance poses a public health challenge that requires attention. This review explores the prevalence of dermatophytes and the current relationship between dermatophyte species, their minimum ...

Mechanisms of resistance to azole antifungals.
Acta Biochimica Polonica, 1995 Until the late eighties, clinical resistance to azole antifungals was a rare phenomenon. Only a few cases of resistance to ketoconazole were found in patients with chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC). The spread of AIDS and the widespread prophylactic and therapeutic use of the hydrophilic azole compound fluconazole resulted both in the selection ...

Antifungal resistance in superficial mycoses
Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2021 With the widespread use of antifungals to treat superficial mycoses, reports of antifungal resistance are increasing. Antifungal resistance is becoming a public health challenge and needs to be addressed in parallel with antibacterial and antiviral resistance.We review the growing resistance of fungal pathogens such as Trichophyton species and the ...

Antifungal resistance on Sporothrix species: an overview [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2020 The treatment of human and animal sporotrichosis is often performed with antifungal agents; however, the emergence of antifungal-resistant strains of Sporothrix species has been reported. We aimed to discuss the ability of Sporothrix species in developing resistance to the conventional antifungals and mechanisms for this.Published data on databases ...
