Determination of antifungal susceptibility patterns among the environmental isolates of Aspergillus fumigatus in Iran
BACKGROUND In recent years, triazole-resistant environmental isolates of Aspergillus fumigatus have emerged in Europe and Asia. Azole resistance has been reported in patients who are treated with long-term azole therapy or exposure of the fungus spores to the azole fungicides used in agriculture. To date, a wide range of mutations in A. fumigatus have been described conferring azole-resistance,...
متن کاملColorimetric assay for antifungal susceptibility testing of Aspergillus species.
A colorimetric assay for antifungal susceptibility testing of Aspergillus species (Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus terreus, Aspergillus nidulans, and Aspergillus ustus) is described based on the reduction of the tetrazolium salt 2,3-bis(2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-[(sulphenylamino)carbonyl]-2H-tetrazolium-hydroxide (XTT) in the presence of menadione as an electron-coupling agent....
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 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 کاملIn vitro antifungal susceptibility of clinically relevant species belonging to Aspergillus section Flavi.
The in vitro antifungal susceptibility of 77 isolates belonging to different clinically relevant species of Aspergillus section Flavi, including those of different phylogenetic clades of A. flavus, was tested for nine antifungal agents using a microdilution reference method (CLSI, M38-A2). Terbinafine and the echinocandins demonstrated lower MICs/MECs for all species evaluated, followed by posa...
