Fluconazole-resistant Candida albicans vulvovaginitis.
OBJECTIVE As a result of high recurrence rates of Candida albicans vaginitis, successful suppressive fluconazole is widely used, and drug resistance is considered rare. We report increased occurrence of secondary fluconazole resistance, analysis of risk factors thereof, and describe management of fluconazole-refractory vaginitis. METHODS Patients referred to the Vaginitis Clinic at Wayne Stat...
متن کاملUsing PCR to Compare the Expression of CDR1, CDR2, and MDR1 in Candida Albicans Isolates Resistant and Susceptible to Fluconazole
Abstract Background and objectives: More Candida albicans strains are reported resistant to fluconazole in patients with AIDS, cancer and organ recipients. Fluconazole resistance can be attributed to changes in pathways of sterol biosynthesis, mutation in or overexpression of ERG11 and the expression of CDR1, CDR2, and MDR1. This study aimed to compare the ex...
متن کاملABC transporter Cdr1p contributes more than Cdr2p does to fluconazole efflux in fluconazole-resistant Candida albicans clinical isolates.
Fluconazole (FLC) remains the antifungal drug of choice for non-life-threatening Candida infections, but drug-resistant strains have been isolated during long-term therapy with azoles. Drug efflux, mediated by plasma membrane transporters, is a major resistance mechanism, and clinically significant resistance in Candida albicans is accompanied by increased transcription of the genes CDR1 and CD...
متن کاملPotent in vitro synergism of fluconazole and berberine chloride against clinical isolates of Candida albicans resistant to fluconazole.
In vitro interaction of fluconazole and berberine chloride was investigated against 40 fluconazole-resistant clinical isolates of Candida albicans. Synergism in fungistatic activity was found with the checkerboard microdilution assay. The findings of agar diffusion tests and time-kill curves confirmed the synergistic interaction, but no antagonistic action was observed.
متن کاملIn vitro interaction between fluconazole and triclosan against clinical isolates of fluconazole-resistant Candida albicans determined by different methods.
The in vitro interaction between triclosan and fluconazole against 24 azole-resistant clinical isolates of Candida albicans was evaluated by the microdilution checkerboard technique. The synergisms were verified by time-killing curves and agar diffusion tests in selected strains. Antagonistic activity was not detected.
