[ 2 ] - In vitro antifungal activity of Allium hirtifolium in comparison with miconazole

  Abstract   Objective: Shallots are important part of the diet for many people and there is   long-held belief in their health enhancing properties. The aim of this study was to determine antifungal activity of shallot against reference fungal strains.   Methods: Alcoholic and aqueous extracts of shallot (Allium hirtifolium) were   tested for in vitro antifungal activities against Aspergillus ...

[ 3 ] - Overexpression of MDR-1 and CDR-2 genes in fluconazole resistance of Candida albicans isolated from patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis

Background and Purpose: Candida albicans (C. albicans) is an opportunistic fungus that can colonize women’s mucosal epithelial cell surfaces, causing vulvovaginitis in specific circumstances. The major genes contributing to drug resistance in C. albicans are the candida drug resistance (CDR) and multi drug resistance (MDR) genes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the CDR-2 and MDR...

[ 4 ] - The effect of nanochitosans particles on Candida biofilm formation

Background and Purpose: In people wearing dentures, the growth of various Candida species under the prosthesis leads to the formation of biofilm, which can play the role of a reservoir for Candida and other kinds of microbes. Since nano-chitosan particles can cause lasting antimicrobial activity, a more recent approach that utilizes acrylic resins with nano-chitosan particles is proposed. Th...

[ 5 ] - Activities of fluconazole in combination with terbinafine against non-albicans Candida species isolated from the patients with recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis in comparison with ciclopirox olamine

Introduction: Recent epidemiological studies show that episodes due to non-albicans species of Candida (C) such as Candida tropicalis, C. glabrata, C, krusei, C. parapsilosis appear to be increasing in recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC). Increased use of the current antifungal drugs cause drug resistance among Candida species. In order to gain suitable antifungal therapy for this disease...

[ 6 ] - Molecular Identification and Epidemiological Aspects of Dermatophytosis in Tehran, Iran

Background: Dermatophytes are the most common fungal agents causing superficial skin infections in worldwide. Species identification of these fungi is important for therapeutic and epidemiological apects. The purpose of this study was identification and epidemiology of dermatophytosis in patients referring to medical mycology laboratory of Razi hospital in Tehran, during 2014. Materials and Me...

[ 7 ] - بررسی اثر هم‌افزایی 2-فنیل اتانول و کلوتریمازول بر روی گونه‌های کاندیدایی جدا شده از بیماران ولوواژینیت کاندیدایی مزمن

Background: 2-phenylethanol is a colorless and aromatic compound with antimicrobial effects which is used extensively in perfumes and cosmetics, as well as in the food industry. Chronic vulvovaginal candidiasis is a vulvovaginal inflammation which is caused by Candida spp. Resistance to clotrimazole which is one of the most common drugs in the treatment of this disease was reported in many pati...

[ 8 ] - Effects of Several Common Antifungal Drugs (Clotrimazole, Miconazole, Fluconazole) alone and in Combination with Amphotericin B on Candida Species Isolated from Chronic Candidal Vulvovaginitis

 Background& Objective: Candidal vulvovaginitis occurs in female genital by the over growth of candida especially candida albicans. This infection may be resistant to therapy and occasionally becomes chronic. In some patients, this form of infection is recurrent. Moreover, discovering new antifungal drugs and the use of these drugs in new methods encourage mycologists to use these techniq...
