Trichophyton indotineae: Epidemiology, antifungal resistance and antifungal stewardship strategies
There is a concerning trend of widespread and severe superficial fungal infections caused by a new pathogen—Trichophyton indotineae—resistant to standard antifungal therapies. T. indotineae is now spreading globally and evolving. There is increasing urgency for healthcare providers and policy makers to initiate surveillance systems and antifungal ...

Probing the role of point mutations in the cyp51A gene from Aspergillus fumigatus in the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
Azole-resistant strains of Aspergillus fumigatus have been detected and the underlying molecular mechanisms of resistance characterized. Point mutations in the cyp51A gene have been proved to be related to azole resistance in A.

Pharmacokinetic Interaction Between Isavuconazole and Rifabutin in a Real‐World Setting
ABSTRACT Background Since rifabutin has less severe drug interactions, it is preferred over rifampin when administered concomitantly with azole antifungals. However, limited data exist to evaluate this interaction. Methods This was a single‐centre study of hospitalised patients who received concomitant isavuconazole and rifabutin prior to plasma ...

Cladophialophora bantiana: a rare cause of fungal brain abscess. Clinical aspects and new therapeutic options [PDF]
Black molds or dematiaceous fungi are rare etiologic agents of intracerebral abscesses and such infections carry a high mortality of up to 70% despite combined surgical and antifungal therapy.

In vitro activities of amphotericin B, terbinafine, and azole drugs against clinical and environmental isolates of apergillus terreus Sensu Stricto [PDF]
The antifungal susceptibilities of 40 clinical and environmental isolates of A. terreus sensu stricto to amphotericin B, terbinafine, itraconazole, and voriconazole were determined in accordance with CLSI document M38-A2.
