متن کاملSpecies distribution and in vitro antifungal susceptibility patterns of Candida
Introduction: Due to advance in medical and surgical management nosocomial fungal infection rate has been increased. Recently Candididiasis has become one of the major fungal infections among hospitalized patients. Several Candida species can give rise to same clinical presentations but their antifungal susceptibility patterns may be different. The aim of the study is species !"#$ %&'$ (#)(*)+'...
متن کاملSpecies Distribution and Susceptibility to Azoles of Vaginal Yeasts Isolated Prostitutes
OBJECTIVE We investigated the use of miconazole among female prostitutes in Costa Rica as well as the distribution of vaginal yeasts and the susceptibility pattern to azoles of strains obtained from this population. Our intention was to relate a frequent use of miconazole to occurrence of vaginal yeasts resistant to azoles. METHODS Vaginal samples were taken from 277 patients that have previo...
متن کاملSpecies level identification and antifungal susceptibility of yeasts isolated from various clinical specimens and evaluation of Integral System Yeasts Plus.
It is essential to use easy, standard, cost-effective and accurate methods for identification and susceptibility testing of yeasts in routine practice. This study aimed to establish the species distribution and antifungal susceptibility of yeast isolates and also to evaluate the performance of the colorimetric and commercially available Integral System Yeasts Plus (ISYP). Yeast isolates (n=116)...
متن کاملCandidemia in a Brazilian tertiary care hospital: species distribution and antifungal susceptibility patterns.
Recent studies have shown differences in the epidemiology of invasive infections caused by Candida species worldwide. In the period comprising August 2002 to August 2003, we performed a study in Santa Casa Complexo Hospitalar, Brazil, to determine Candida species distribution associated with candidemia and their antifungal susceptibility profiles to amphotericin B, fluconazole and itraconazole....
