In vitro antifungal susceptibilities of uncommon basidiomycetous yeasts.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The in vitro activities of eight antifungal drugs against 50 isolates of basidiomycetous yeasts were determined by a microdilution method. In general fluconazole and micafungin were inactive. Terbinafine was active only against Sporobolomyces salmonicolor. The activities of the other antifungals were variable and depended on the species tested. The new triazoles showed the lowest MICs, but amphotericin B and itraconazole were the only drugs active against Cryptococcus albidus.

In vitro activity of A-192411.29, a novel antifungal lipopeptide.
A-192411.29 is a novel antifungal agent derived from the structural template of the natural product echinocandin. The in vitro activity of A-192411.29 against common pathogenic yeasts was assessed by National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards method M27-A. It demonstrated broad-spectrum, fungicidal activity and was active against the most clinically relevant yeasts, such as Candida al...
متن کاملMolecular identification of basidiomycetous yeasts from soils in Iran
In the present study basidiomycetous yeast species were characterised from soil samples in different regions of Iran. Soil samples were collected from 5–15 cm depth, subsequently yeasts were isolated and purified. Yeast isolates were identified using D1/D2 domains of 26S rRNA and physiologic tests. The results of this study revealed a rich diversity amongst basidiomycetous yeast species in the ...
متن کاملIn vitro Antifungal Activity of Biopolymeric Foam Activated with Carvacrol
Background: Active packaging represents a defining strategy to improve food quality and safety of the packaged foods. This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro ability of commercial biopolymeric foams, namely Mater-Bi (MB), activated with 20% of carvacrol, to develop a completely biodegradable and compostable packaging to inhibit the growth of spoilage and pathogenic yeasts. Methods: MB foams,...
متن کاملIn vitro activities of voriconazole, fluconazole, itraconazole and amphotericin B against non Candida albicans yeast isolates.
Antifungal susceptibility testing was performed on 197 yeast isolates from the BCCM/IHEM biomedical fungi and yeasts collection (Belgian Co-ordinated Collections of Micro-organisms / IPH-Mycology) to study the in vitro activity of voriconazole against fluconazole, itraconazole and amphotericin B. MICs of the four antifungal agents were determined by an adapted NCCLS M27-A microdilution referenc...
متن کاملSusceptibilities of Candida species isolated from the lower gastrointestinal tracts of high-risk patients to the new semisynthetic echinocandin LY303366 and other antifungal agents.
Fifty-two percent of stool specimens collected from 1,200 high-risk patients were colonized with yeasts, primarily Candida albicans (53. 6%) and Candida glabrata (35.7%). Susceptibilities to all antifungal agents tested, including LY303366, were similar to those reported previously for Candida species isolated from blood.
