Species Distribution of Candidemia and Their Susceptibility in a Single Japanese University Hospital: Prior Micafungin Use Affects the Appearance of Candida parapsilosis and Elevation of Micafungin MICs in Non-parapsilosis Candida Species

Journal of Fungi, 2021
Introduction: Micafungin is a recommended echinocandin antifungal agent for candidemia treatment and prophylaxis. However, overuse of echinocandin antifungals may cause resistance.

Comprehensive evaluation of metagenomic next‐generation sequencing for pathogen identification in patients with suspected infection: Establishment of a standardized validation workflow

VIEW, EarlyView.
Comprehensive evaluation of metagenomic next‐generation sequencing for pathogen identification in patients with suspected infection: Establishment of a standardized validation workflow. Abstract Metagenomic next‐generation sequencing (mNGS) enables unbiased identification of pathogens directly from clinical specimens. Despite its growing application in

Effects of caspofungin against Candida guilliermondii and Candida parapsilosis. [PDF]

, 2006
The in vitro activity of caspofungin (CAS) was investigated against 28 yeast isolates belonging to Candida albicans (n = 5), Candida guilliermondii (n = 10), and Candida parapsilosis (n = 13). CAS MICs obtained by broth dilution and Etest methods clearly

High prevalence of itraconazole resistance among Candida parapsilosis isolated from Iran [PDF]

Current Medical Mycology, 2019
Background and Purpose: Candida parapsilosis isolates usually have a low minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against azoles. Although Candida parapsilosis isolates usually have low MICs against azoles, recent studies candida invasive infections due to

The addition of clotrimazole reduces but does not abrogate fungal dysbiosis during effective antibacterial therapy for canine otitis externa

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
Objectives Malassezia dysbiosis commonly occurs after successful piperacillin‐tazobactam monotherapy for canine bacterial otitis externa. The study objective was to compare antimicrobial outcomes in dogs with otitis treated with piperacillin‐tazobactam in combination with the antifungal drug clotrimazole with a previous cohort treated with piperacillin‐

Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy in Candida spp. biofilms: In vitro and in vivo protocols

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
This review addresses the critical challenges in translating in vitro antimicrobial photodynamic therapy protocols to in vivo models, with a particular focus on the hurdles of standardization. The vast diversity in photosensitizers and light parameters across different target cells and models requires a rigorous optimization process.
