Fluconazole susceptibility of Brazilian Candida isolates assessed by a disk diffusion method.
The increasing magnitude of antifungal resistance as well as the advent of new antifungal drugs has generated a renewed interest in fungal susceptibility testing. We used a previously described disk diffusion method to evaluate the susceptibility profile of a large collection of recent clinical Candida spp. isolates against fluconazole. A total of 1,784 yeast isolates were tested, including the...
متن کاملEvaluation of antifungal susceptibility testing in Candida isolates by Candifast and disk-diffusion method.
With the increase in invasive fungal infections due to Candida species and resistance to antifungal therapy, in vitro antifungal susceptibility testing is becoming an important part of clinical microbiology laboratories. Along with broth microdilution and disk diffusion method, various commercial methods are being increasingly used for antifungal susceptibility testing, especially in the develo...
متن کاملCorrelation between microdilution, Etest, and disk diffusion methods for antifungal susceptibility testing of fluconazole against Candida sp. blood isolates.
INTRODUCTION Antifungal susceptibility testing assists in finding the appropriate treatment for fungal infections, which are increasingly common. However, such testing is not very widespread. There are several existing methods, and the correlation between such methods was evaluated in this study. METHODS The susceptibility to fluconazole of 35 strains of Candida sp. isolated from blood cultur...
متن کاملFluconazole Susceptibility Profile of Candida isolates Recovered from Patients Specimens Admitted to Yazd Central Laboratory
The increasing incidence of candidiasis and antifungal resistance as well as the introducing of new antifungal has recently encouraged performing of fungal susceptibility testing. The aim of this study was to evaluate the susceptibility profile of Candida species isolated from patients admitted to Yazd central laboratory to fluconazole. We used the broth microdilution method to evaluate the sus...
