Antifungal Use and Resistance in a Lower–Middle-Income Country: The Case of Lebanon [PDF]

Antibiotics, 2023
Antimicrobial resistance is a serious threat, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Antifungal resistance is often underestimated in both healthcare and non-clinical settings.

Potential Strategies to Control the Risk of Antifungal Resistance in Humans: A Comprehensive Review

Antibiotics, 2023
Fungal infections are becoming one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in people with weakened immune systems. Mycoses are becoming more common, despite greater knowledge and better treatment methods, due to the regular emergence of resistance ...

Resistance to antifungal therapies [PDF]

Essays in Biochemistry, 2017
The evolution of antifungal resistance among fungal pathogens has rendered the limited arsenal of antifungal drugs futile. Considering the recent rise in the number of nosocomial fungal infections in immunocompromised patients, the emerging clinical multidrug resistance (MDR) has become a matter of grave concern for medical professionals.

Antifungal resistance in superficial mycoses [PDF]

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 Patterns of Oral and Intestinal Candida Isolates Among People Living with HIV in a Tertiary Hospital in Gabon: A Cross-Sectional Study [PDF]

Microorganisms
Digestive candidiasis is a major opportunistic infection among people living with HIV (PLHIV). In Gabon, data on antifungal resistance remain limited. This study aimed to characterise Candida colonisation and antifungal resistance according to anatomical

Candida Species Biofilms’ Antifungal Resistance [PDF]

Journal of Fungi, 2017
Candida infections (candidiasis) are the most prevalent opportunistic fungal infection on humans and, as such, a major public health problem. In recent decades, candidiasis has been associated to Candida species other than Candida albicans.

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 ...

Antifungal Resistance in Cryptococcal Infections [PDF]

Pathogens
Antifungal therapy, especially with the azoles, could promote the incidence of less susceptible isolates of Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii species complexes (SC), mostly in developing countries. Given that these species affect mostly the immunocompromised host, the infections are severe and difficult to treat.
