Inhibitory Effect of Fluconazole Combined with Amphotericin B on Fluconazole-Resistant Candida albicans Biofilm Formation
Background & Objective: The incidence of biofilm-related infections caused by Candida albicans has increased dramatically. C. albicans biofilm-related infections are more resistant to antifungal medications. This work was an attempt to examine inhibitory effects of fluconazole in combination with amphotericin B on fluconazole-resistant C. albicans biofilm. Materials & Methods: Fluconazole-...
متن کاملSynergistic action of amphotericin B and rifampin against Rhizopus species.
A 16-year-old diabetic patient developed Rhizopus pneumonia and was initially treated with amphotericin B for 7 days. Because of clinical deterioration of the patient, rifampin was added empirically. The patient improved clinically, and lung tissue removed surgically 8 weeks later showed no fungal elements by histopathological studies or by culture. An in vitro study of amphotericin B alone and...
متن کاملEffect of Candida morphology on amphotericin B susceptibility.
We showed that brief exposures to amphotericin B (AmB) inhibited the induction of new Candida germ tubes and the lengthening of partially induced germ tubes. Blastoconidia with germ tubes were more susceptible to AmB killing, and this varied directly with the induction period and the AmB exposure period. AmB did not preferentially affect germ tube adherence to fibrin matrices.
متن کاملAmphotericin B-induced in vitro postantifungal effect on Candida species of oral origin.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this investigation was to measure the postantifungal effect (PAFE) of 6 different oral Candida species following exposure to amphotericin B. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five oral isolates each of Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, Candida krusei, Candida parapsilosis, Candida glabrata and Candida guilliermondii (total of 30 isolates) were examined for the presence of PAFE af...
متن کاملPatterns of amphotericin B killing kinetics against seven Candida species.
In a previous study tolerance to amphotericin B (AMB) was found among Candida parapsilosis and C. dubliniensis strains by seeding the whole volumes of wells used for MIC determinations, and minimum fungicidal concentrations (MFC) for non-C. albicans Candida strains were demonstrated to be above the levels safely achievable in serum. As an extension of that study, we performed time-kill assays w...
