Rapid and sensitive plate method for detection of Aspergillus fumigatus.
The routine identification of Aspergillus fumigatus in clinical samples involves, apart from direct examination, the isolation of the organism on a plate followed by its microscopic characterization. This approach lacks sensitivity, specificity, and speed. A new procedure has been developed combining microcolony formation on a nylon membrane filter at 45 degrees C with the detection of a specif...
متن کاملRapid detection of triazole antifungal resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus.
Triazole resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus is an uncommon but rising phenomenon. Susceptibility testing is rarely performed and can take 48 h or longer, which is an impediment to effective therapy. Molecular diagnostic probing of well-defined resistance mechanisms, which serve as surrogate markers, provides an alternative approach to rapidly (within hours) and efficiently identify resistant s...
متن کاملRapid Measurement of Chlorophylls with a Microplate Reader
This paper describes a robust and rapid procedure for measuring chlorophyll using a microplate reader. The procedure enables direct translation of any published equation developed on a 1-cm pathlength spectrophotometer to any format microplate with any sample volume. Chlorophylls were extracted with methanol because it is compatible with cheap polystyrene plates; however, the principles apply t...
متن کاملMicroplate-reader method for the rapid analysis of copper in natural waters with chemiluminescence detection
We have developed a method for the determination of copper in natural waters at nanomolar levels. The use of a microplate-reader minimizes sample processing time (~25 s per sample), reagent consumption (~120 μL per sample), and sample volume (~700 μL). Copper is detected by chemiluminescence. This technique is based on the formation of a complex between copper and 1,10-phenanthroline and the su...
متن کاملGrowth inhibition of Candida species and Aspergillus fumigatus by statins.
Statins are a class of drugs widely used for lowering high cholesterol levels through their action on 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase, a key enzyme in the synthesis of cholesterol. We studied the effects of two major statins, simvastatin and atorvastatin, on five Candida species and Aspergillus fumigatus. The statins strongly inhibited the growth of all species, except Candida krusei. ...
