Background and Purpose: Candidemia is one of the most important fungal infections caused by Candida species. Infections and mortality caused by Candida species have been on a growing trend during the past two decades. The resistance of yeasts to antifungal drugs and their epidemiological issues have highlighted the importance of …

Drug susceptibility profile of Candida glabrata clinical isolates from Iran and genetic resistant mechanisms to caspofungin

Genotyping of clinical isolates of Candida glabrata from Iran by multilocus sequence typing and determination of population structure and drug resistance profile

Abstract Background: Candidemia is the main cause of fungal nosocomial bloodstream infections and is related to meaningful mortality specially, in pediatrics. Mortality rate range from 5% to 71%, and it can reach as high as ۸۱%. Delays in beginning of treatment have also been linked to intensified mortality. The epidemiology …

The aim of the present study was to investigate the antifungal activity of Zataria multiflora essential oil, fluconazole and ciclopirox olamine against 44 non-albicans Candida isolates from patients with recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis. A set of C. glabrata (29 strains), C. krusei (3 stains) and C. patapsilosis (2 strains) were studied …

Background: Candida species are the most prevalent cause of invasive fungal infections such as candidemia. Candidemia is a lethal fungal infection among immunocompromised patients worldwide. Main pathogen is Candida albicans but a global shift in epidemiology toward non‑albicans species have reported. Species identification is imperative for good management of candidemia …

Fusarium solani, as the most predominant agent of mycokeratitis, may also occur as a mixed infection with HSV. Furthermore due to similarities in their clinical features, sometimes it leads to misdiagnosis. The aim of this research ,was the rapid and accurate detection of F. solani as a main etiological agent …

As a result of the importance of quick diagnosis of Neurocryptococcosis in patients, generally, molecular techniques are preferred rather than traditional methods for their rapidity. In this research, we made an effort to design and optimize Loop mediated isothermal AMPlification (LAMP) technique using specific primers for ura5 as the target …

ABSTRACT Candiduria or presence of infecting Candida species in urinary tract is one of the usual hospital infections. Factors increasing susceptibility of patients to such infections are including high utilization of antibiotics, long hospitalization periods, higher ages, diabetes mellitus, sexuality, female sex and use of immunosuppressive therapy. This study focuses …
