In vitro antifungal susceptibilities of Trichosporon species.

چکیده
The in vitro activities of amphotericin B, itraconazole, fluconazole, voriconazole, posaconazole, and ravuconazole against 39 isolates of Trichosporon spp. were determined by the NCCLS M27-A microdilution method. The azoles tested appeared to be more potent than amphotericin B. Low minimal fungicidal concentration/MIC ratios were observed for voriconazole, posaconazole, and ravuconazole, suggesting fungicidal activity.

Three-locus identification, genotyping, and antifungal susceptibilities of medically important Trichosporon species from China.
Three reference and 45 clinical isolates of Trichosporon were analyzed by conventional phenotypic and molecular methods to determine the species and genotypes of Trichosporon isolates from China. Target loci for molecular methods included the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, the D1/D2 domain of the 26S rRNA gene, and the intergenic spacer 1 (IGS1) region. Identification of eight Tricho...
متن کاملSusceptibility patterns and molecular identification of Trichosporon species.
The physiological patterns, the sequence polymorphisms of the internal transcriber spacer (ITS), and intergenic spacer regions (IGS) of the rRNA genes and the antifungal susceptibility profile were evaluated for their ability to identify Trichosporon spp. and their specificity for the identification of 49 clinical isolates of Trichosporon spp. Morphological and biochemical methodologies were un...
متن کاملIn vitro activity of isavuconazole against Trichosporon, Rhodotorula, Geotrichum, Saccharomyces and Pichia species.
OBJECTIVES The emergence of less common, but clinically important, fungal pathogens including the rare yeasts has contributed to the substantial morbidity and mortality observed in immunocompromised patients. These organisms can be resistant or refractory to existing antifungal agents. We sought to evaluate the activity of the new triazole isavuconazole against these difficult pathogens. METH...
