Fluconazole resistance in Candida glabrata [PDF]
We report a case of infection with Candida glabrata in which the organism became resistant to fluconazole and in which pre- and posttreatment isolates were available for comparison. The organism was cross-resistant to ketoconazole and itraconazole, in common with other azole-resistant yeasts.

Synergistic Effects of Amiodarone and Fluconazole on Candida tropicalis Resistant to Fluconazole [PDF]
ABSTRACT There have recently been significant increases in the prevalence of systemic invasive fungal infections. However, the number of antifungal drugs on the market is limited in comparison to the number of available antibacterial drugs. This fact, coupled with the increased frequency of cross-resistance, makes it necessary to

Fluconazole Assists Berberine To Kill Fluconazole-Resistant Candida albicans [PDF]
ABSTRACT It was found in our previous study that berberine (BBR) and fluconazole (FLC) used concomitantly exhibited a synergism against FLC-resistant Candida albicans in vitro . The aim of the present study was to clarify how BBR and FLC worked synergistically and the underlying mechanism ...

Candida norvegensis: a fluconazole-resistant species [PDF]
Candida norvegensis has been an unusual cause of infections in humans. In Norway this species was isolated from eight patients from 1990 to 1996 and was of probable pathogenic significance in four of them. All isolates were resistant to fluconazole. The same was true for two C. norvegensis isolates from before 1940, and it is therefore assumed that the

The resistance to fluconazole in patients with esophageal candidiasis [PDF]
CONTEXT: Esophageal candidiasis is often observed in patients with risk factors for its development and fluconazole is the therapeutic choice for the treatment of this disease. OBJECTIVES: To determine its frequency, by performing upper digestive endoscopy; to determine Candida species involved in its pathogenesis and verify their distribution ...

The assessment of therapeutic response of oropharyngeal and oesophageal candidiasis in AIDS using a new scoring system: studies with D0870. [PDF]
We developed and compared five scoring systems designed to quantitate therapeutic response in cases of oropharyngeal candidiasis. We utilized prospectively collected data on 114 patients treated with several doses of the azole D0870.

Risk Factors for Fluconazole-Resistant Candidemia [PDF]
ABSTRACT Previous studies have sought to determine the risk factors associated with candidemia caused by non- albicans Candida spp. or with potentially fluconazole-resistant Candida spp. ( C. glabrata and C. krusei ).

Fluconazole-resistant Candida parapsilosis: A new emerging threat in the fungi arena
Candida parapsilosis is a leading cause of invasive candidiasis in southern Europe, Latin America and Asia. C. parapsilosis has been mostly considered susceptible to triazoles, but fluconazole resistance is on the rise in some countries.

Successful Treatment of Fluconazole-Resistant Oropharyngeal Candidiasis by a Combination of Fluconazole and Terbinafine [PDF]
ABSTRACT Increasing incidence of resistance to conventional antifungal therapy has demanded that novel therapies be introduced. Recent in vitro studies have shown that combinations involving azoles and allylamines may be effective in inhibiting fluconazole-resistant fungi.

Biofilm formation by fluconazole-resistant Candida albicans strains is inhibited by fluconazole [PDF]
The fungal pathogen Candida albicans forms biofilms on implanted medical devices, resulting in infections with high mortality. Fully developed biofilms, which are adherent communities of microorganisms, characteristically exhibit high resistance to antimicrobial drugs, making treatment of device-associated infection problematic.
