The In Vitro Activity of Rezafungin Against Uncommon Species of Candida

Mycoses, Volume 67, Issue 11, November 2024.
ABSTRACT Background Invasive candidiasis (IC) is increasing due to the rising numbers of immunocompromised patients. Increasing azole resistance rates and daily dosing required for most echinocandins have complicated its treatment. The approval of rezafungin has provided an option for weekly echinocandin treatment.

Candida infections, causes, targets and resistance mechanisms. Traditional and alternative antifungal agents [PDF]

, 2013
The genus Candida includes about 200 different species, but only a few species are human opportunistic pathogens and cause infections when the host becomes debilitated or immunocompromised. Candida infections can be superficial or invasive.

Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media: A Prospective Descriptive Study of the Microbiology and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Patterns

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, Volume 171, Issue 1, Page 90-97, July 2024.
Abstract Objective This study aims to identify dominant causative pathogens of chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) and their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns. The secondary objective is to assess the cholesteatoma concurrence among this population. Study Design A prospective descriptive study.

Molecular Identification and Antifungal Susceptibility of Candida parapsilosis sensu stricto, Candida orthopsilosis, and Candida metapsilosis in Sousse Region, Tunisia [PDF]

Medical Mycology: Open Access, 2015
Candida parapsilosis was recently reclassified into three distinct species, C. parapsilosis sensu stricto, C. orthopsilosis, and C. metapsilosis. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and the antifungal susceptibility of these species among clinical isolates previously identified by phenotypical methods as C. parapsilosis in the laboratory

Ascomycetes yeasts: The hidden part of human microbiome

WIREs Mechanisms of Disease, Volume 16, Issue 3, May/June 2024.
The human mycobiota is mainly composed of yeasts of the Ascomycota phylum, across all body sites. There are several factors, both genetic and environmental, that shape the composition of the mycobiota during the human lifetime. Abstract The fungal component of the microbiota, the mycobiota, has been neglected for a long time due to its poor richness ...

Molecular Fingerprints to Identify Candida Species [PDF]

, 2013
A wide range of molecular techniques have been developed for genotyping Candida species. Among them, multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and microsatellite length polymorphisms (MLP) analysis have recently emerged.

Fungi beyond limits: The agricultural promise of extremophiles

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2024.
As the global climate evolves, understanding and harnessing the intricate mechanisms of fungal–plant interactions, especially in extreme environments, is paramount for developing effective and safe plant probiotics and using fungi as biocontrollers against phytopathogens.

Novel eDNA approaches to monitor Western honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) microbial and arthropod communities

Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 1, January–February 2024.
This paper presents the development of eDNA metabarcoding for early detection and monitoring of honey bee pests and pathogens. We sampled 13 sources for eDNA within and outside hives from our test apiary to determine where the most informative eDNA could be obtained.

Genetic Diversity of Osmophilic Yeasts Isolated from Indonesian Foods with High Concentration of Sugar

Microbiology Indonesia, 2010
Isolation of osmophilic yeasts from a total of 70 samples consisting of jam, sweet condensed milk, honey, sweet soy sauce, and palm sugar was conducted. Sixty-eight osmophilic yeasts were isolated from strawberry jam, pineapple jam, and honey from South ...
