Microdilution procedure for antifungal susceptibility testing of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis to amphotericin b and itraconazole

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2009
In vitro tests employing microdilution to evaluate fungal susceptibility to antifungal drugs are already standardized for fermentative yeasts. However, studies on the susceptibility of dimorphic fungi such as Paracoccidioides brasiliensis employing this ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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.
