Profili di sensibilità agli agenti antifungini di lieviti e miceti lievito-simili isolati negli ospedali torinesi

Microbiologia Medica, 2005
There is an increased incidence of the morbidity and mortality associated with fungal infections caused by resistant fungi in various groups of patients; therefore the monitoring of their susceptibility to antifungal agents to be necessary for optimizing

Antifungal susceptibility ofMalassezia pachydermatisbiofilm [PDF]

Medical Mycology, 2013
Antifungal resistance has been associated with biofilm formation in many microorganisms, but not yet in Malassezia pachydermatis. This saprophytic yeast can cause otitis and dermatitis in dogs and has emerged as an important human pathogen, responsible for systemic infections in neonates in intensive care units. This study aims to evaluate the in vitro

A disc test of antifungal susceptibility [PDF]

Microbiology Australia, 2009
Diagnostic laboratories are frequently requested to perform antifungal susceptibility tests on isolates recovered from systemic infections. A standard reference procedure of broth dilution was proposed by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI), but it is too labour-intensive for most clinical laboratories.

Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) Assay for Antifungal Drugs

Bio-Protocol, 2012
The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) Assay is widely used to measure the susceptibility of yeasts to antifungal agents. In serial two-fold dilutions, the lowest concentration of antifungal drug that is sufficient to inhibit fungal growth is the MIC.

Determination of antifungal susceptibility patterns among the clinical isolates of Candida species

Journal of Global Infectious Diseases, 2011
Context: Candida species are opportunistic yeasts that cause infections ranging from simple dermatosis to potentially life-threatening fungemia. The emergence of resistance to antifungal drugs has been increased in the past two decades.

Clinical utility of antifungal susceptibility testing

JAC-Antimicrobial Resistance, 2022
Abstract Invasive fungal diseases cause significant morbidity and mortality, in particular affecting immunocompromised patients. Resistant organisms are of increasing importance, yet there are many notable differences in the ability to both perform and interpret antifungal susceptibility testing compared with bacteria. In this review, we

ASSESSMENT OF SPECIATION AND ANTIFUNGAL SUSCEPTIBILITY TESTING IN THE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT: AN OBSERVATIONAL CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY DESIGN.

Student's Journal of Health Research Africa, 2023
Objectives:  This study aims to investigate the epidemiology of Candidemia in patients admitted to Intensive Care Units (ICUs), focusing on the distribution of species, antifungal susceptibility patterns, and demographic factors.

Synthetic Strategy for mRNA Encapsulation and Gene Delivery with Nanoscale Metal‐Organic Frameworks

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This research utilizes the ZIF‐8 for the encapsulation and intracellular delivery of nucleic acids, specifically mRNA, for applications in gene delivery. Integrating PEI addresses the issue of mRNA leakage from ZIF‐8, resulting in the delivery and expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP) in vitro and firefly luciferase in vivo.

Pediatric dermatophytosis of the skin: current clinico epidemiological and antifungal susceptibility patterns in a tertiary care rural hospital

Indian Journal of Paediatric Dermatology, 2021
Background: Dermatophytosis is a common infection seen in tropical countries like India. With the onset of the 21st century, cases of antifungal resistance in dermatophytoses began to emerge as a therapeutic challenge.
