Tolerance analysis approach based on the classification of uncertainty (aleatory / epistemic) [PDF]
Uncertainty is ubiquitous in tolerance analysis problem. This paper deals with tolerance analysis formulation, more particularly, with the uncertainty which is necessary to take into account into the foundation of this formulation.

Antifungal Susceptibility Testing of Five Antifungal Agents against Clinically Isolated Dermatophytes Species from a Tertiary Care Hospital in Northern India [PDF]
Introduction: Dermatophytosis form approximately 15-75% of all the mycological infections. Dermatophytes are closely related keratinolytic fungi with ability to degrade keratin and invade the skin, hair and nails causing dermatophytosis.

Recent Increase in the Prevalence of Fluconazole-Non-susceptible Candida tropicalis Blood Isolates in Turkey: Clinical Implication of Azole-Non-susceptible and Fluconazole Tolerant Phenotypes and Genotyping [PDF]
Candida tropicalis is the fourth leading cause of candidemia in Turkey. Although C. tropicalis isolates from 1997 to 2017 were characterized as fully susceptible to antifungals, the increasing global prevalence of azole-non-susceptible (ANS) C. tropicalis and the association between high fluconazole tolerance (HFT) and fluconazole therapeutic failure ...

Involvement of PDK1, PKC and TOR signalling pathways in basal fluconazole tolerance in Cryptococcus neoformans [PDF]
SummaryThis study shows the importance of PDK1, TOR and PKC signalling pathways to the basal tolerance of Cryptococcus neoformans towards fluconazole, the widely used drug for treatment of cryptococcosis. Mutations in genes integral to these pathway resulted in hypersensitivity to the drug. Upon fluconazole treatment, Mpk1, the downstream target of PKC
