The role of azoles in the management of azole-resistant aspergillosis: From the bench to the bedside

open access: yesDrug Resistance Updates, 2014
Azole resistance is an emerging problem in Aspergillus fumigatus and is associated with a high probability of treatment failure. An azole resistance mechanism typically decreases the activity of multiple azole compounds, depending on the mutation. As alternative treatment options are limited and in some isolates the minimum inhibitory concentration ...

Coordinated Regulation of Membrane Homeostasis and Drug Accumulation by Novel Kinase STK-17 in Response to Antifungal Azole Treatment

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2022
The emergence of antifungal resistance, especially to the most widely used azole class of ergosterol biosynthesis inhibitors, makes fungal infections difficult to treat in clinics and agriculture. When exposed to azoles, fungi can make adaptive responses

Trichophyton: Changing nomenclature and practical implications

open access: yesIndian Journal of Dermatology, 2023
Trichophyton interdigitale had been regarded as anthropophilic, mainly causing non-inflammatory tinea unguium and tinea pedis. T. mentagrophytes, thought to be zoophilic, were regarded as responsible for more inflammatory dermatophytosis.
