Phenotypic and molecular antifungal susceptibility testing of yeast isolates from Pretoria
Antifungal drug resistance is a growing problem. Several mechanisms contribute to the development of resistance to antifungal agents. In South Africa, little is known about the antifungal susceptibility of local yeast isolates. The aim of this study was therefore to determine the antifungal …

Investigation of Clinically Relevant Fluconazole Resistance Mechanisms in the Fungal Pathogen Candida parapsilosis
… and other triazoles are the first line antifungal agents used for effective treatment of invasive Candida infection. Until recently, rates of fluconazole resistance among C. parapsilosis isolates were relatively low, therefore the determination of clinically relevant resistance …

Infecções fúngicas invasivas em neonatos, epidemiologia e perfil de susceptibilidade antifúngica dos agentes etiológicos
Infecções fúngicas invasivas têm se tornado cada vez mais freqüentes em neonatos, principalmente devido ao aumento da sobrevivência de prematuros e a deficiência do sistema imune. Dessa forma, torna-se relevante o conhecimento dos fatores epidemiológicos e susceptibilidade aos antifúngicos, uma vez …

ERG11-Mediated Azole Resistance in Candida albicans
… with fungal infections, the emergence of antifungal resistant clinical isolates creates significant problem in regards to antifungal prophylaxis and empirical treatment strategies. Antifungal resistance is associated with high mortality rates and hefty medical costs. The azole-antifungal …
