High incidence of azole resistance among Candida albicans and C. glabrata isolates in Northeastern Iran [PDF]

Current Medical Mycology, 2021
Background and Purpose: Resistance to antifungal drugs is increasing among Candida isolates from patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC). Lack of correct diagnosis of Candida causing VVC and the experimental use of antifungal drugs are the main ...

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

Microbiology 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

Indian 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.

High-Throughput Chemical Screen Identifies a 2,5-Disubstituted Pyridine as an Inhibitor of Candida albicans Erg11

mSphere, 2022
Fungal infections contribute to over 1.5 million deaths annually, with Candida albicans representing one of the most concerning human fungal pathogens. While normally commensal in nature, compromise of host immunity can result in C.

Case Report: Hypercalcemia as a manifestation of acute adrenal crisis precipitated by fluconazole use, and a review of the literature

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
Acute adrenal crisis classically presents with vomiting, altered sensorium, and hypotension. We describe a unique case manifesting with severe hypercalcemia. Addisonian crisis was unusually precipitated by fluconazole use.

Hsp90 governs dispersion and drug resistance of fungal biofilms [PDF]

, 2011
Fungal biofilms are a major cause of human mortality and are recalcitrant to most treatments due to intrinsic drug resistance. These complex communities of multiple cell types form on indwelling medical devices and their eradication often requires ...
