Typhoid fever due to multidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi is a global public health problem, with an estimated 30 million cases and 600,000 deaths annually (7). Since the beginning of the 1990s, there has been an increasing prevalence of multidrug resistance to the first-line antimicrobials, such as chloramphenicol, ampicillin, and co-trimoxazole, shifting the drug of choice fo...

Objective. To evaluate in vitro antifungal activity of thiabendazole against strains of dermatophytes using a reference method for filamentous fungi. Materials and Methods. Dermatophytes' susceptibility to thiabendazole (TBZ) and fluconazole (FCZ) was evaluated using macrodilution method of protocol M38-A2 of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). Results. MIC ranges of TBZ for...

A commercially prepared, dried colorimetric microdilution panel (Sensititre YeastOne Trek Diagnostic Systems, Cleveland, OH) was compared in three different laboratories with the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) reference microdilution method by testing 2 quality control strains, 25 reproducibility strains, and 404 isolates of Candida spp. against anidulafungin, caspofungin, a...

For the millions of patients who are managing diabetes, daily self-monitoring of blood glucose is a fact of life. However, the cost and inconvenience of self-monitoring have led to noncompliance by many patients.Continuous interstitial glucose monitoring (CGM) has emerged as a promising and welcome alternative to traditional glucose monitoring, which requires the patient to endure repeated fing...
