Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of dermatophytes - Comparison of the agar macrodilution and broth microdilution tests [PDF]
, 1998 Fifty dermatophyte strains, recently obtained from clinical material, belonging to 4 different species were examined for their susceptibility to 5 systemic or topical antimycotic agents using both an agar macrodilution and a broth microdilution test ...

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

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 ...

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.
