چکیده
Cyphellophora guyanensis (n = 15), other Cyphellophora species (n = 11), Phialophora europaea (n = 43), and other Phialophora species (n = 12) were tested in vitro against nine antifungal drugs. The MIC(90)s across all of the strains (n = 81) were, in increasing order, as follows: posaconazole, 0.063 μg/ml; itraconazole, 0.5 μg/ml; voriconazole, 1 μg/ml; micafungin, 1 μg/ml; terbinafine, 2 μg/ml; isavuconazole, 4 μg/ml; caspofungin, 4 μg/ml; fluconazole, 8 μg/ml; amphotericin B, 16 μg/ml.

متن کاملIn vitro antifungal activities of Actinomyces species isolated from soil samples against Trichophyton mentagrophytes
Background and Purpose: Cutaneous infections arise from a homogeneous group of keratinophilic fungi, known as dermatophytes. Since these pathogenic dermatophytes are eukaryotes in nature, use of chemical antifungal agents for treatment may affect the host tissue cells. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the antifungal activity of Actinomyces species against Trichophyton mentagrophytes (abbrevi...
متن کاملIdentification and typing of isolates of Cyphellophora and relatives by use of amplified fragment length polymorphism and rolling circle amplification.
The species diversity and identification of black fungi belonging to Cyphellophora and Phialophora, which colonize and infect human skin and nails, were studied using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP). A total of 76 Cyphellophora and Phialophora isolates were evaluated, and their delimitation was compared to earlier studies using multilocus sequencing. The results of the AFLP analys...
متن کاملIn vitro antifungal activity of Clotrimazole, Miconazole and Ketoconazol by binary mixture pattern against hospital isolates of Candida
The lack of variation in antifungal drugs, and the misuse or inappropriate use usually causes resistant strains of the yeast in human’s normal flora. Unfortunately, a large number of Candida infection cases in immunosuppressed patients with insufficient treatment eventually can cause patient's death. The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro conventional antifungal azole compounds with...
متن کاملIn vitro antifungal activities of Euphorbia macroclada and fluconazole against pathogenic Candida species
Background and Purpose: Candida species constitute an important group of opportunistic fungi, which cause various clinical diseases. Considering the resistance of some Candida species to conventional antifungal agents, treatment of such cases may be challenging and complicated. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the antifungal activities of Euphorbia macroclada latex and fluc...
