Biofilm Formation by Pseudallescheria/Scedosporium Species: A Comparative Study
Pseudallescheria/Scedosporium species are medically important fungi that are present in soil and human impacted areas and capable of causing a wide spectrum of diseases in humans. Although little is known about their pathogenesis, their growth process and infection routes are very similar to those of Aspergillus species, which grow as biofilms in invasive infections. All nine strains tested her...
متن کاملSusceptibility of Pseudallescheria boydii and Scedosporium apiospermum to new antifungal agents.
Hyalohyphomycoses caused by Pseudallescheria boydii and Scedosporium apiospermum have recently been on the increase. To find the appropriate treatment for this emerging disease, we examined the antifungal susceptibility of 10 isolates of P. boydii and 17 isolates of S. apiospermum, most of which were isolated from clinical specimens. When the NCCLS M38-P microdilution method was used, itraconaz...

متن کاملSpecies distribution and in vitro antifungal susceptibility patterns of Candida
Introduction: Due to advance in medical and surgical management nosocomial fungal infection rate has been increased. Recently Candididiasis has become one of the major fungal infections among hospitalized patients. Several Candida species can give rise to same clinical presentations but their antifungal susceptibility patterns may be different. The aim of the study is species !"#$ %&'$ (#)(*)+'...
متن کاملAntifungal susceptibilities of the species of the Pseudallescheria boydii complex.
Eighty-four isolates belonging to eight species that constitute the Pseudallescheria boydii complex were tested against 11 antifungal agents by using the microdilution method. There were significant differences among the species, with Scedosporium aurantiacum being the most resistant. In general, voriconazole was the most active drug, followed by posaconazole.
