Antifungal susceptibility testing [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 1993
Unlike antibacterial susceptibility testing, reliable antifungal susceptibility testing is still largely in its infancy. Many methods have been described, but they produce widely discrepant results unless such factors as pH, inoculum size, medium formulation, incubation time, and incubation temperature are carefully controlled.

Distribution and antifungal susceptibility pattern of Candida species from mainland China: A systematic analysis

Virulence, 2022
Antifungal resistance to Candida pathogens increases morbidity and mortality of immunosuppressive patients, an emerging crisis worldwide. Understanding the Candida prevalence and antifungal susceptibility pattern is necessary to control and treat ...

A Practical Guide to Antifungal Susceptibility Testing.

Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society, 2023
We review antifungal susceptibility testing and the development of clinical breakpoints, and detail an approach to using antifungal susceptibility results when breakpoints have not been defined.

Candida auris: Epidemiology, Diagnosis, Pathogenesis, Antifungal Susceptibility, and Infection Control Measures to Combat the Spread of Infections in Healthcare Facilities

Microorganisms, 2021
Candida auris, a recently recognized, often multidrug-resistant yeast, has become a significant fungal pathogen due to its ability to cause invasive infections and outbreaks in healthcare facilities which have been difficult to control and treat.

Molecular Epidemiology and Antifungal Susceptibility of Trichophyton Isolates in Greece: Emergence of Terbinafine-Resistant Trichophyton mentagrophytes Type VIII Locally and Globally

Journal of Fungi, 2021
Trichophyton isolates with reduced susceptibility to antifungals are now increasingly reported worldwide. We therefore studied the molecular epidemiology and the in vitro antifungal susceptibility patterns of Greek Trichophyton isolates over the last 10 ...

Prevalence, species distribution and antifungal susceptibility of Candida albicans causing vaginal discharge among symptomatic non-pregnant women of reproductive age at a tertiary care hospital, Vietnam

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2021
Background Vaginal candidiasis is frequent in women of reproductive age. Accurate identification Candida provides helpful information for successful therapy and epidemiology study; however, there are very limited data from the Vietnam have been reported.

Continuing Shifts in Epidemiology and Antifungal Susceptibility Highlight the Need for Improved Disease Management of Invasive Candidiasis

Microorganisms, 2022
Invasive candidiasis (IC) is a systemic life-threatening infection of immunocompromised humans, but remains a relatively neglected disease among public health authorities.

Species Distribution, Antifungal Susceptibility, and Molecular Epidemiology of Candida Species Causing Candidemia in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand

Journal of Fungi, 2021
Candida species represent a common cause of bloodstream infection (BSI). Given the emergence of non-albicans Candida (NAC) associated with treatment failure, investigations into the species distribution, fungal susceptibility profile, and molecular ...
