Aspergillus – Classification and Antifungal Susceptibilities

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2013
Aspergillus is one of the most important fungal genera for the man, for its industrial use, its ability to spoil food and not least its medical impact as cause of a variety of diseases. Currently hundreds of species of Aspergillus are known; nearly fifty of them are able to cause infections in humans and animals.

Candida auris in various hospitals across Kuwait and their susceptibility and molecular basis of resistance to antifungal drugs

Mycoses (Berlin), 2020
Candida auris, a multidrug‐resistant species, has the propensity of nosocomial transmission despite normal decontamination procedures. Here, we describe the isolation of C auris from patients in various hospitals in Kuwait during 2014‐2018 ...

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 ...

Antifungal susceptibility profiles of rare ascomycetous yeasts.

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2019
OBJECTIVES To generate antifungal susceptibility patterns for Trichomonascus ciferrii (Candida ciferrii), Candida inconspicua (Torulopsis inconspicua) and Diutina rugosa species complex (Candida rugosa species complex), and to provide key parameters such

Antifungal Susceptibility Testing Methods

Current Drug Targets, 2005
The number of systemically active antifungal agents has increased dramatically in recent years in response to the challenge of invasive mycoses. Additional work is needed to better understand the mechanisms of action of these agents as well as the mechanisms of resistance expressed by the fungal pathogens.

Epidemiology and antifungal susceptibility patterns of Candida isolates from Greek women with vulvovaginal candidiasis

Mycoses (Berlin), 2019
Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a common infection of the genital tract affecting millions of women worldwide. Data on epidemiological trends of VVC in Greece are scarce.

Antifungal Drug Susceptibility Testing

1989
The continuing introduction of new antifungal drugs has increased the demand for methods of in vitro testing that can predict the effects of compounds in vivo. As with antibacterial drugs, tests designed to ascertain the minimum amount of drug needed to inhibit the growth of organisms in vitro (minimum inhibitory concentration, or MIC) have often been ...

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 patient's outcome. Antifungal susceptibility testing methods are available to detect antifungal resistance

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.

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 ...
