A Novel Hyphal Suspension Approach for MIC Testing of Mould Fungi
ABSTRACT Background Filamentous fungi cause a wide range of superficial and invasive infections, and antifungal susceptibility assay is essential for guiding effective therapy. Standard broth microdilution methods rely on microconidia‐based inocula; however, many clinically important moulds produce insufficient microconidia due to intrinsic ...

Antifungal potential of essential oil and ethanol extracts of Lonicera japonica Thunb. against dermatophytes [PDF]
The antifungal potential of essential oil and ethanolic leaf extracts of Lonicera japonica Thunb. was evaluated for controlling the growth of dermatophytes. The oil (1,000 ppm) and extracts (1,500 ppm) of L. japonica revealed 55.1–70.3 % and 40.1–65.5 %

Pseudomicetoma dermatofítico em felinos [PDF]
As infecções fúngicas dermatofíticas profundas, conhecidas como pseudomicetomas, são raras em animais domésticos. O pseudomicetoma dermatofítico tem sido relatado nos gatos, cães, eqüinos, assim como no homem. Na ampla maioria dos casos, o agente isolado

Metallic nanoparticles are emerging as potent antifungal agents, yet their efficacy is rarely quantified on a particle basis. Here, we demonstrate how nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), together with a newly proposed Particle Efficiency Index (PEI), can relate nanoparticle concentration to fungal inoculum load, enabling more rigorous and comparable ...
