Recently, numerous cases of dermatophytosis resistant to terbinafine were reported. These have been increasing in frequency, with no improvement even treatment using systemic therapies. Our objective was determine the antifungal activity efinaconazole compared fluconazole, itraconazole, and against dermatophyte, Candida, mold clinical isolates In vitro. Activity antifungals assessed minimum inh...

The temperature range of growth was 5-39.5 C. Candida krusei was able to grow at 46 C. Torulopsis albida was able to grow at 0 C. The sugar tolerance was 50-55O Brix syrup. Saccharomyces ro8ei and Torulopsis lactis-condensi were able to tolerate 600 Brix syrup. Attractivity tests with dried-fruit beetles indicated that they responded most to Candida krusei, then Hanseniaspora valbyensis, fig ti...

Fungal DNA was selectively amplified, and the ITS region sequenced, from fecal samples taken from 45 healthy human volunteers at one (21 volunteers) or two (24 volunteers) time points. Seventy-two operational taxonomic units, representing two phyla and ten classes of fungi, were recovered. Candida yeasts, notably Candida tropicalis (present in 51 samples), and yeasts in the Dipodascaceae (39 sa...
