Phase-Dependent Differential In Vitro and Ex Vivo Susceptibility of Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium keratoplasticum to Azole Antifungals

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Fungal keratitis (FK) is an invasive infection of the cornea primarily associated with Aspergillus and Fusarium species. FK is treated empirically with a limited selection of topical antifungals with varying levels of success.

Anidulafungin Susceptibility Testing of Candida glabrata Isolates from Blood Cultures by the MALDI Biotyper Antibiotic (Antifungal) Susceptibility Test Rapid Assay

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2019
Echinocandins are the recommended first-line antifungals for treatment of invasive candidiasis. The increasing number of Candida glabrata strains resistant against echinocandins is an emerging health care concern.

How to: perform antifungal susceptibility testing of microconidia-forming dermatophytes following the new reference EUCAST method E.Def 11.0, exemplified by Trichophyton

, 2021
Background: Antifungal drug resistance in dermatophytes was first reported shortly after the turn of the millennium and has today been reported in Trichophyton and occasionally in Microsporum, but not in Epidermophyton species.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Candida auris Identification and Rapid Antifungal Susceptibility Testing Against Echinocandins by MALDI-TOF MS

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2019
Candida auris was first reported in an ear swab from Japan in 2009; it then promptly spread over five continents and turned into a global nosocomial problem. The main challenges faced by many researchers are the mis-identification by conventional methods

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.
