Two cases of fungal keratitis caused by Metarhizium anisopliae [PDF]
We present two cases of keratitis due to Metarhizium anisopliae in geographically separated areas of the United States. The isolates were microscopically similar but morphologically different and were identified by ribosomal DNA sequencing. Both isolates

Comparative evaluation of Trichosporon asahii susceptibility using ASTY colorimetric microdilution and CLSI M27‐A2 broth microdilution reference methods [PDF]
ABSTRACTThe in vitro activity of AMPH‐B, 5‐FC, FLCZ, MCZ, ITCZ, and VRCZ against 50 isolates of T. asahii was determined using CLSI M27‐A2 microdilution and ASTY colorimetric methods. Observed agreement ranged from 96 to 100% according to the drug. Overall, the agreement between two methods was 97.7%. The ASTY colorimetric method was thus determined to
