Mutants with heteroresistance to amphotericin B and fluconazole in Candida

Mutants with heteroresistance to amphotericin B and fluconazole in Candida

Several studies have reported the occurrence of infections caused by Candida yeasts as well as the increasing prevalence of non albicans species. The aim of the present work is focused on the obtaining of heteroresistance to amphotericin B and fluconazole in Candida species using two distinct methodologies: selection and induction. Resistant samples were obtained by selective pressure using a m...

Inhibitory Effect of Fluconazole Combined with Amphotericin B on Fluconazole-Resistant Candida albicans Biofilm Formation

 Background & Objective:  The incidence of biofilm-related infections caused by Candida albicans has increased dramatically. C. albicans biofilm-related infections are more resistant to antifungal medications. This work was an attempt to examine inhibitory effects of fluconazole in combination with amphotericin B on fluconazole-resistant C. albicans biofilm.  Materials & Methods:  Fluconazole-...

Effect of Fluconazole, Amphotericin B and Caspofungin against Candida albicans

Candidemia caused by amphotericin B and fluconazole resistant Candida auris.

Susceptibilities of Candida species to amphotericin B and fluconazole: the emergence of fluconazole resistance in Candida tropicalis.

OBJECTIVE To determine the susceptibilities of Candida species isolated from Taiwan to amphotericin B and fluconazole. DESIGN Prospective surveillance study. METHODS Each hospital was asked to submit up to 10 C. albicans and 40 non-albicans Candida species during the collection period, from April 15 to June 15, 1999. One isolate was accepted from each episode of infection. The broth microdi...
