In vitro susceptibility testing of filamentous fungi: comparison of Etest and reference microdilution methods for determining itraconazole MICs.
The performance of the Etest for itraconazole susceptibility testing of 50 isolates of filamentous fungi was assessed in comparison with the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) proposed standard microdilution broth method. The NCCLS method employed RPMI 1640 broth medium, and MICs were read after incubation for 48 h at 35 degrees C. Etest MICs were determined with RPMI ...
متن کاملScreening of Lovastatin Production by Filamentous Fungi
In the present study, 110 fungal strains of Persian Type Culture Collection (PTCC) including some selected strains isolated in various screening projects were tested for their potentiality to produce lovastatin, a competitive inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMG-CoA reduc-tase), the rate-limiting enzyme of cholesterol biosynthesis. The fungal strains were cultivated in a t...
متن کاملThe fitness of filamentous fungi.
Fitness is a common currency in comparative biology. Without data on fitness, hypotheses about the adaptive significance of phenotypes or basic mechanisms of evolution, for example natural selection, remain speculative. Experiments with fungi can address questions specific to fungi or questions with a broader significance. Fungi can challenge the generality of fundamental evolutionary principle...

متن کاملInoculum standardization for antifungal susceptibility testing of filamentous fungi pathogenic for humans.
Two methods of inoculum preparation for filamentous fungi were compared: counting with a hematocytometer and spectrophotometric adjustment. One hundred eighty-two filamentous fungi pathogenic for humans were used. Colony counts were done for all inoculum preparations. The agreement between the hematocytometer counts and the colony counts (CFU per milliliter) was 97.2%. The reproducibility betwe...
