Biofilms and Antifungal Susceptibility Testing

2016
Yeasts and filamentous fungi both exist as single cells and hyphal forms, two morphologies used by most fungal organisms to create a complex multilayered biofilm structure. In this chapter we describe the most widely used assays for the determination of biofilm production and assessment of susceptibility of biofilms to antifungal agents or host ...

Pathogenicity and antifungal susceptibility ofChaetomium species

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 1995
Several reports have been published implicating Chaetomium spp. as opportunistic pathogens. A critical review of these cases was made, and the majority of the responsible strains were studied. Chaetomium globosum was the most common species, being isolated in at least nine clinical cases of infection.

Antifungal drug susceptibility testing

Mycopathologia, 1984
The advent of new antifungal drugs provides clinicians with therapeutic options, and it is anticipated requests for fungal susceptibility testing in vitro will increase. Our own laboratory's experience indicates that results can be provided promptly even to distant medical centers.

Antifungal susceptibility testing with dermatophytes

Mycoses, 1991
Summary. The determination of the in vitro activity of antimycotics against dermatophytes has for long been considered as irrelevant from a practical point of view. Recently, however, this approach has been questioned. Various different tests such as agar diffusion test, agar dilution test and broth dilution test can be used for the determination of ...

Epidemiology of antifungal susceptibility: Review of literature.

Journal de Mycologie Médicale, 2018
Fungal infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality despite the latest developments of diagnostic tools and therapeutic options. Early initiation of the appropriate antifungal therapy has been demonstrated to have a direct impact on the ...

Progress in Standardizing Antifungal Susceptibility Tests

Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 1989
In vitro tests of antifungal agents are receiving increasing attention as important procedures for the clinical laboratory. As antifungal agents proliferate, it will become more and more valuable to have available antifungal susceptibility tests to aid in treatment selections based on the specific activities of different drugs against a patient's own ...

Antifungal Susceptibility Testing of Dermatophytes

2021
In order to help guide treatment, antifungal susceptibility testing is often performed in clinical microbiology laboratories. The results of these in vitro assays are used by clinicians to change therapy should resistance be detected, continue with current regimens with susceptible results, and as an aide in determining possible reasons for treatment ...

Susceptibility testing and antifungal agents

Clinical Microbiology Newsletter, 1980
The microbiology laboratory plays a key role in establishing the diagnosis of systemic fungal infections, by recovering fungi in culture and/or detecting fungal constituents or metabolic products in body fluids. The laboratory's role in proriding pertinent information to help manage patients with documented systemic fungal infections is, however, less ...
