Validation of Integral System Yeast Plus for rapid identification and determination of antifungal susceptibility profile of clinically important Candida species

Precise identification of microorganisms involved in candidiasis together with antifungal susceptibility evaluation could help clinicians to prescribe appropriate medicine, especially in patients with critical conditions. The present study has been conducted to evaluate discriminatory power of Integral System Yeast Plus (ISYP) for rapid identification and determination of antifungal susceptibil...

Species assignment and antifungal susceptibilities of black aspergilli recovered from otomycosis cases in Iran.

Black aspergilli are among the main causative agents of otomycosis worldwide. In this study, the species assignment of black aspergilli isolated from otomycosis cases in Iran was carried out using sequence analysis of part of the calmodulin gene. The results indicate that Aspergillus niger is not the only black Aspergillus species involved in otomycosis cases in Iran: Aspergillus awamori and As...

The alternative oxidase of Candida albicans causes reduced fluconazole susceptibility.

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of Candida albicans mitochondrial respiratory status on antifungal azole susceptibility. METHODS The inhibitors cyanide and salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM) were each combined with azoles to examine the effect of the combinations on C. albicans. C. albicans strains deleted for the alternative oxidase (Aox) were also examined for susceptibility to azoles and for ...

Considering the Effect of Oxygen Group on the Magnetic Properties of Reduced Graphene oxides (RGOs)

Improved magnetic characters of graphene oxides besides its unique biocompatibility make this compound as a theranostics agent could be so practical in the medicine fields. Oxygen functionalities with disturbing the symmetry of graphene sublattices could induce magnetic moments and improve magnetic properties in these structures­. While that, vacancies and distortions, created by oxygen release...
