The activity of a new, soluble and stable polyene (SPA-S-843) against Candida albicans was assessed by contact and culture tests and by inhibition of germ-tube formation. The drug demonstrated a higher contact activity and lower MICs than amphotericin B. This antimicrobial activity was more evident under acid pH and low ionic strength. In addition, the ability of SPA-S-843 to inhibit Candida sp...

Tumours of the fallopian tube are much less common than the corresponding ovarian neoplasms; however, histologically the same surface epithelial-stromal tumour subtypes are recognized. Sex cord-stromal and germ cell tumours are rare. H y d a t i d i f o rm moles and gestational choriocarcinoma are uncommon complications of tubal ectopic pregnancy. The wolffian adnexal tumour is also infrequent ...

Isolates of Candida species from invasive infections should be identified to species level. Like most other nonalbicans Candida species, C. auris isolates are germ tube test negative and colonies appear pale purple or pink on CHROMagar Candida medium. However, they differ from many other species in their ability to grow at temperatures in excess of 42 °C, a characteristic which has potential as...
