[ 1 ] - In-vitro Activity of 10 Antifungal Agents against 320 Dermatophyte Strains Using Microdilution Method in Tehran
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...

[ 3 ] - شناسایی و تعیین فراوانی گونه های کاندیدا جدا شده از بیماران به روش کروم آگار کاندیدا
Introduction & Objective: Candida species can cause opportunistic infections in human. Although Candida albicans is major pathogenic species, non-albicans species of Candida such as C. glabrata , C. tropicalis and C. krusei have been increasingly reported. Identification of Candida species is essential for effective antifungal therapy and for infection control purposes. In the present study the...
[ 4 ] - Characterization of beta tubulin DNA sequences within the Candida parapsilosis complex
Abstract Background and Purpose: Candida parapsilosis is a common cause of candidemia in children and onco-hematologic patients as well as in patients with septic arthritis, peritonitis, vaginitis, and nail and skin infections. Here, we evaluated intra- and inter-species beta tubulin DNA sequence variation within the C. parapsilosis complex with a view to establishing its utility in the identi...
[ 5 ] - The first case of onychomycosis in a koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) due to atypical isolates of Microsporum gypseum, a diagnostic challenge
Background and Purpose: Superficial mycotic infections have been only poorly described in koalas and there are no reliable mycologically confirmed data regarding clinical isolation of dermatophytes in this animal. We report an 11-yearold female koala, kept in a zoo in Tokyo, Japan, and presenting with hyperkeratotic lesions and scaly plaques on forepaw claws and pads reminis...
[ 6 ] - Susceptibility pattern of Candida albicans isolated from Iranian patients to antifungal agents
Background and Purpose: Candidiasis is a major fungal infection, and Candida albicans is the major cause of infections in humans. The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) developed new breakpoints for antifungal agents against C. albicans. In this multi-center study, we aimed to determine the drug susceptibility profile of C. albicans, isolated from Iranian population according...
[ 7 ] - Molecular identification of uncommon clinical yeast species in Iran
Background and Purpose: By using advanced detection/identification methods, the list of emerging uncommon opportunistic yeast infections is rapidly expanding worldwide. Our aim in the present study was sequence-based species delineation of previously unidentified yeasts obtained from a clinically yeast collection. Materials and Methods: A total of twenty three out of the 855 (5.7%) yeast isolat...
[ 8 ] - شناسایی و افتراق تریکوفیتون روبروم و تریکوفیتون منتاگروفایتس با روش واکنش زنجیره ای پلی مراز و برش آنزیمی
مقدمه و هدف: تریکوفیتون روبروم و تریکوفیتون منتاگروفیتس شایعترین گونه های عامل درماتوفیتوزیس در سراسر جهان هستند و شناسایی این دو از نقطه نظر همه گیرشناسی و بیماری زایی مهم است. روش های معمول آزمایشگاهی برای افتراق این دو گونه شامل؛ مشخصات میکروسکوپی، بررسی ظاهر کلنی و تست های بیوشیمیایی می باشد. روش های فوق وقت گیر بوده و احتیاج به پرسنل مجرب دارند و با وجود این گاهی هنوز با هم اشتباه می شوند....
