Susceptibility 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 کاملHuman phagocytic cell responses to Scedosporium apiospermum (Pseudallescheria boydii): variable susceptibility to oxidative injury.
Scedosporium apiospermum (Pseudallescheria boydii) is an emerging opportunistic filamentous fungus that causes serious infections in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. To gain insight into the immunopathogenesis of infections due to S. apiospermum, the antifungal activities of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs), mononuclear leukocytes (MNCs), and monocyte-derived macrop...
متن کاملSusceptibility and diversity in the therapy-refractory genus scedosporium.
Scedosporium species show decreased susceptibility to the majority of systemic antifungal drugs. Acquired resistance is likely to disseminate differentially with the mode of exchange of genetic material between lineages. Inter- and intraspecific diversities of Scedosporium species were analyzed for three partitions (rDNA internal transcribed spacer gene [ITS], partial β-tubulin gene, and amplif...
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.
