In Vitro Antifungal Susceptibility Testing of 5 Antifungal Agents against Dermatophytic Species by CLSI (M38-A) Micro Dilution Method
نویسنده
چکیده
Dermatophytes are fungi that can cause infections of the skin, hair, and nails due to their ability to utilize keratin. The organisms colonize the keratin tissues [1] and inflammation is caused by host response to metabolic by-products. The dermatophytes are included in three fungal genera viz,:1. Epidermophyton: This genus consists of 2 species, one of which is a pathogen 2. Microsporum: There are 19 described species but only 9 are involved in human or animal infections. 3. Trichophyton: There are 22 species, most causing infections in humans or animals [2].

Molecular identification and in-vitro antifungal susceptibility testing of Candida species isolated from patients with onychomycosis
Background and Purpose: Candida species are the most opportunistic fungi affecting the nails and resulting in onychomycosis. In this study, we identified and evaluated in-vitro susceptibility of the recovered isolates against fluconazole (FLC), voriconazole (VRC), and clotrimazole (CLT) using the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) M27-A3 document. Materials and Method...

Dermatophyte fungi are the etiologic agents of skin infections commonly referred to as ringworm. These infections are not dangerous but as a chronic cutaneous infections they may be difficult to treat and can also cause physical discomfort for patients. They are considered important as a public health problem as well. No information is available regarding the efficacy of antifungal agents again...
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...
