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...

Mass population movements have altered the epidemiology of tinea capitis (TC) in countries receiving refugees. Periodic monitoring local pathogen profiles may serve as a basis for both selection appropriate empirical antifungal therapy and implementation preventive actions. Therefore, we investigated impact an unprecedented immigration wave occurring Greece since 2015 on epidemiological trends ...

Chromobacterium violaceum, Gram-negative bacteria species found in tropical regions of the world, produces a distinct deep violet-colored pigment called violacein. In the present study, we investigated whether violacein can promote a gastroprotective effect and verified the possible mechanisms involved in this action. For this study, an indomethacin-induced gastric ulcer rat model was used. The...

isolation of pigmented t.violaceum from a patient with endothrix infection associated with the inflammatory and kerion symptoms and also isolation of the non- pigmented strain from another patient with non-inflammatory symptoms, led us to investigate the enzymic activities in both strains. most of the studies on dermatophyte compoxition have shown the relationship between proteolytic enzymes an...

BACKGROUND Surveillance of dermatophytosis is essential to determine the likely changes in etiological trends and distribution profile of this infection. In this study beta tubulin gene (BT2), was used as the first time in a PCR-RFLP format to clarify the distribution of dermatophytosis agents in some parts of Iran. METHODS A total of 603 clinical isolates was obtained from 500 patients in Te...

Occurrence of Chromobacterium violaceum in six protected drinking water springs in Uganda was investigated. C. violaceum showed a contrasting occurrence, which was independent of human impact as assessed by faecal pollution indicators. It was isolated from two springs (S1 and S2) that were located close to each other (3 km) but not in the rest. In S1 C. violaceum was continuously detected, in c...

Lymphadenitis can be caused by different gram positive and gram negative bacteria and non-tuberculous mycobacteria. Cervical lymphadenitis in children is thought to result from ingestion of or contact with environmental microrganisms. Chromobacterium violaceum is a common inhabitant of soil and water in tropical and sub tropical countries. In these parts of the world Chromobacterium violaceum i...
