Antifungal susceptibility profile of Aspergillus fumigatus isolates from avian lungs [PDF]

Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira, 2020
: Susceptibility testing is essential to inform the correct management of Aspergillus infections. In this study we present antifungal susceptibility profile of A. fumigatus isolates recovered from lungs of birds with and without aspergillosis.

Antifungal Susceptibility Testing: Current Approaches [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2020
Although not as ubiquitous as antibacterial susceptibility testing, antifungal susceptibility testing (AFST) is a tool of increasing importance in clinical microbiology laboratories. The goal of AFST is to reliably produce MIC values that may be used to guide patient therapy, inform epidemiological studies, and track rates of antifungal ...

Autophagy Alters the Susceptibility of Candida albicans Biofilms to Antifungal Agents

Microorganisms, 2023
Candida albicans (C. albicans) reigns as a major cause of clinical candidiasis. C. albicans biofilms are known to increase resistance to antifungal agents, making biofilm-related infections particularly challenging to treat.

Phase-Dependent Differential In Vitro and Ex Vivo Susceptibility of Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium keratoplasticum to Azole Antifungals

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Fungal keratitis (FK) is an invasive infection of the cornea primarily associated with Aspergillus and Fusarium species. FK is treated empirically with a limited selection of topical antifungals with varying levels of success.

Antifungal susceptibility testing for yeasts: how, when and why, according to the new EUCAST guidelines

Microbiologia Medica, 2011
Antifungal susceptibility testing of yeasts and the development of interpretive breakpoints are nowadays very important topics both for the increasing incidence of invasive mycoses and number of available antifungal drugs and for the appearance of ...
