Rapid emergence of FKS mutations in Candida glabrata isolates in a peritoneal candidiasis

Medical Mycology Case Reports, 2017
We report a rapid acquisition of echinocandin resistance after 12 days of micafungin treatment, without prior exposure, in a patient with peritoneal candidiasis due to C. glabrata. Isolates recovered before and after treatment were compared by multilocus

Patterns of culture positivity and antifungal sensitivity in dermatophytosis

MGM Journal of Medical Sciences, 2019
Background: Antifungal drug resistance and a lack of clinical response in 20% of cases of dermatophytosis calls for an evaluation of resistant dermatophytes using a standardized simple and reproducible in vitro assay, to allow clinician to select the ...

Issues in antifungal susceptibility testing [PDF]

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2008
In line with the availability of an increasing array of systemic antifungal agents, there is a need for accurate, reproducible and predictive susceptibility testing of fungal isolates in order to help inform clinical choice. Much early attention on antifungal susceptibility testing focused on defining test parameters that produced reproducible and ...

Well diffusion for antifungal susceptibility testing [PDF]

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2004
The increasing clinical and microbiologic resistance of Candida spp. isolates to several antifungal agents is becoming a serious problem. It is now reasonable to propose the use of antifungal susceptibility testing in Candida spp. isolates from patients who have failed conventional therapy, before the selection of an empirical therapy.One hundred and ...

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.

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.

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.

Anidulafungin is a useful surrogate marker for predicting in vitro susceptibility to rezafungin among five Candida species using CLSI methods and interpretive criteria

Journal of Clinical Microbiology
This study addresses the use of other echinocandins as surrogate markers to predict the susceptibility of rezafungin against the six most common Candida spp.
