Background and Purpose: Candida species are considered a common cause of fungal blood stream infections, which are associated with considerable mortality and morbidity rates, especially in the admitted and immunocompromised patients. Despite the increase in new and available antifungal agents, the emergence of resistant strains is growing. Regarding this, the aim of the present study was to ass...

background: although  candida albicans  remains the most common fungal isolate from clinical specimens, many studies have detected a shift towards non-albicans  candida species. despite worrying clinical pictures associated with latter species , there is little information regarding its susceptibility patterns against currently available antifungal agents, with only a small number of strains ha...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Candida species are the most common organisms involved in superficial fungal infections, worldwide. Although econazole is among the most frequently used topical formulations for the treatment of candidiasis, no information is available regarding the susceptibility profiles of Candida species in Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS In vitro susceptibility of 100 clinical Candida ...

INTRODUCTION: Candida parapsilosis complex species, frequently found in hospital environments, have gained importance as etiological agents of candidemia. METHODS: Candida parapsilosis complex isolates from a nosocomial environment were identified and their hydrolitic enzyme activity and ability to form biofilm were characterized. RESULTS: Twenty-two C. parapsilosis sensu stricto isolate...

In this study, we isolated and phenotypically identified 108 yeast strains from various clinical specimens collected from 100 hospitalized patients at three tertiary hospitals in São Luís-Maranhão, Brazil, from July to December 2010. The isolates were analyzed for their susceptibility to four of the most widely used antifungal agents in the surveyed hospitals, amphotericin B, fluconazole, 5-flu...

In this study, the adhesion performance of oak (Quercus petrea Liebl.) And Scotch pine (Pinus Silvestris L.) wood samples that were heat treated and glued with 1K-PUR adhesive kept under different conditions (A1-A4-A5) moisture contents (20°C /% 35, 20°C /%65 ve 95), then was investigated.Rough sized pieces both types at 195°C for 2 hours. Test prepared from untreated blanks (DIN EN 204). Tensi...

background and objectives: nosocomial infections are usually acquired during hospitalization. fungal infection of the urinary tract is increasing due to predisposing factors such as; antibacterial agents, indwelling urinary catheters, diabetes mellitus, long hospitalization, immunosuppressive agents, use of iv catheters, radiation therapy, malignancy. the aim of our study was to determine the p...

conclusions these findings highlight the importance of precise and correct species identification of clinical yeast isolates via molecular approaches, and of monitoring the antifungal susceptibility of candida species recovered from clinical sources. laboratories should consider routine mic testing of c. glabrata isolates collected from sterile sites. surveillance studies of candida species and...

This study aims analyze and examine problems exist on Untung Jawa Island, South Seribu Islands District, DKI Jakarta, channels are poorly maintained frequent flooding. The data in this primary secondary data, planning calculation f...

soybean, glycine max (l.) merr is one of the most important oilseed plants in the world and phythophthora root and crown rot is a significant limiting factor for its planting. in the present study the antagonistic effect of 12 trichoderma spp. in vitro and these trichoderma spp. in combination with bradyrhizobium japonicum in vivo on phytophthora sojae and soybean growth were tested. in laborat...
