Shifting Epidemiology and Antifungal Susceptibility Patterns of Clinical Fungal Isolates in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) from Bucharest, Romania: A Retrospective Observational Study [PDF]

Antibiotics
Background: Antifungal resistance among Candida species represents a growing clinical challenge, particularly in the context of increasing prevalence of non-albicans species. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 747 fungal isolates collected

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 ...

Antifungal Susceptibility Testing: A Primer for Clinicians [PDF]

Open Forum Infectious Diseases, 2021
Abstract Clinicians treating patients with fungal infections may turn to susceptibility testing to obtain information regarding the activity of different antifungals against a specific fungus that has been cultured. These results may then be used to make decisions regarding a patient’s therapy.

New approaches for antifungal susceptibility testing [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2017
Invasive fungal diseases, including those caused by (multi)drug-resistant Candida and Aspergillus species, still represent global public health concerns. Information about the antifungal susceptibility testing (AFST) of fungal isolates must be quickly produced to help clinicians in administrating appropriate antifungal therapies.

Antifungal Susceptibility of Dermatophytes

Kasmera, 2006
There are no test standarizaded for the antifungal susceptibility of dermatophytes. The aim of this study is to probe the well diffusion technique as antifungal susceptibility test for dermatophites. One hundred species of dermatophytes were isolated and

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.

A review of studies on Candida species in Peninsular Malaysia

Advanced Biomedical Research, 2022
Data on the epidemiology and the antifungal susceptibility of Candida species infections in Malaysia is still limited. The study aimed to review and compare studies reporting the prevalence of Candida species and antifungal susceptibility of Candida ...

Antifungal susceptibility profiles of 1698 yeast reference strains revealing potential emerging human pathogens. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
New molecular identification techniques and the increased number of patients with various immune defects or underlying conditions lead to the emergence and/or the description of novel species of human and animal fungal opportunistic pathogens. Antifungal
