Fluconazole in vitro susceptibility test results for 256,882 isolates of Candida spp. were collected from 142 sites in 41 countries from June 1997 to December 2007. Data were collected for 197,619 isolates tested with voriconazole from 2001 to 2007. A total of 31 different species of Candida were isolated. Increased rates of isolation of the common non-albicans species C. glabrata (10.2% to 11....

PURPOSE The aim of the study was the determination of antifungal activity of new of 2,5 disubstituted amino-oksometyloso-arylo-thiadiazole (AOAT) derivatives against Candida albicans, non-Candida albicans. MATERIAL AND METHODS The determination of antifungal activity AOATs against 20 Candida albicans, 18 non-Candida albicans was performed. Isolates were from different ontocenoses of patients ...

Otomycosis is a fungal infection of the ear predominantly caused by Candida and Aspergillus spp. The possible virulence factors of Candida spp. are enzymes, such as proteases, phospholipases, phosphatases and esterase. According to our knowledge, protease production in Candida strains isolated from patients with otomycosis has not been investigated. The present study was aimed at determining in...

Most Candida infections are related to microbial biofilms often formed by the association of different species. The objective of this study was to evaluate the interactions between Candida albicans and non-albicans species in biofilms formed in vitro. The non-albicans species studied were:Candida tropicalis, Candida glabrata and Candida krusei. Single and mixed biofilms (formed by clinical isol...

objective(s):the present study aimed to investigate the antiseptic properties of a colloidal nano silver wound rinsing solution to inhibit a wide range of pathogens including bacteria, viruses and fungus present in chronic and acute wounds. materials and methods:the wound rinsing solution named silvosept® was prepared using colloidal nano silver suspension. physicochemical properties, effective...

OBJECTIVE Pregnant women are susceptible to vaginal colonization and infection by yeast. The purpose of the study was to determine the prevalence of Candida spp in high vaginal swabs of pregnant women and their antifungal susceptibility. METHODS High vaginal swab samples received from Serdang Hospital, Selangor, Malaysia during 2011 initially had microscopic examination, Gram-staining and fun...

Background: Candida spp. are intra-oral commensals in 40-60% of human subjects and the precise factors involved development Candidiasis still not clear. The adherence to epithelial cells is one main pathogenic characteristics genus. Studies have shown that there variations capabilities different spp., which may explain why some species colonize mucosal surfaces more frequently than others. aim ...

Oropharyngeal candidiasis continues to be considered the most common opportunistic disease in Aids patients. This study was designed to investigate species distribution, serotype and antifungal susceptibility profile among Candida spp. isolated from the oral cavity of Aids patients recruited from six Brazilian university centers. Oral swabs from 130 Aids patients were plated onto CHROMagar Cand...
