Many countries have seen a two-wave pattern in reported cases of coronavirus disease-19 during the 2020 pandemic, with first wave spring followed by current second late summer and autumn. Empirical data show that characteristics effects virus do vary between two periods. Differences age range severity disease been reported, although comparative waves still remain largely unknown. Those are compared this study using from equal periods 3 half months. The period, 15 th March 30 June,...
The MICs of amphotericin B, miconazole, ketoconazole, flucytosine, itraconazole and fluconazole for 19 isolates Fusarium oxysporum, 16 solani, seven verticilliodes, four proliferatum, dimerum, three equiseti, one each the following species: graminearum, chlamydosporum, semitectum, avenaceum subglutinans were determined by a broth microdilution method. Thirty-eight these clinical origin 20 from environmental sources. In general, spp. strains showed resistance to all antifungals tested....
The objective of this study was to analyse whether there is an association between reduced susceptibility biocides in Acinetobacter baumannii and (i) antimicrobial resistance (co-resistance), (ii) prevalent (epidemic) clones, (iii) changes the fitness or (iv) expression genes related efflux pumps porins. Susceptibility antimicrobials determined 49 clonally unrelated isolates A. baumannii. Biological cost, terms mean generation time, by spectrophotometry. Quantitative real-time RT–PCR used...
ABSTRACT The MICs and minimum fungicidal concentrations (MFCs) of amphotericin B, miconazole, itraconazole, ketoconazole, fluconazole, flucytosine for 52 isolates Paecilomyces species were evaluated by the broth microdilution method, largely based on recommendations National Committee Clinical Laboratory Standards (document M27-A). fungal tested included 16 P. variotii , 11 lilacinus 9 marquandii 6 fumosoroseus 4 javanicus 2 viridis 1 isolate each following species: carneus farinosus fulvus...
An evaluation of broth dilution antifungal susceptibility tests was performed by determining both the micro- and macrodilution MICs amphotericin B, fluconazole, ketoconazole, 5-fluorocytosine, miconazole, itraconazole against representative species opportunistic hyphomycetes (Fusarium spp. Cladosporium [Cladophialophora] spp.) ascomycetes (Chaetomium spp.). A total 78 strains were tested, majority them twice some three times on different days. Both methods according to recommendations...
Summary A murine model with immunocompetent animals was used in a comparative study of experimental pathogenicity 13 isolates belonging to the four most frequent pathogenic species Fusarium man (F. solani, F. oxysporum, verticillioides and proliferatum). Inocula 5 × 106 conidia/mouse each isolate were injected into lateral vein tail mice produce systemic infection. solani virulent species; five strains this assayed caused death all tested <19 days. The other not model. organs mainly affected...
Four Aeromonas strains from clinical and environmental samples differed known species on the basis of rpoD gene sequence. Multilocus phylogenetic analysis in silico DNA-DNA hybridization confirmed them as four new even though their 16S rRNA sequence similarity with closest relatives was >98.7%, occurred for other spp.
The MICs and minimum fungicidal concentrations (MFCs) of amphotericin B, fluconazole, ketoconazole, flucytosine, miconazole, itraconazole for 12 isolates filamentous opportunistic fungi (Scopulariopsis sp., Paecilomyces Cladosporium spp., Cladophialophora sp.) were determined by a broth microdilution method with hyphal conidial inocula. With inocula MFCs practically always substantially higher. Only 25% the 60 MIC comparisons showed discrepancies twofold or less, while remaining much larger...
BackgroundCarbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAb) is a major source of nosocomial infections in Spain associated with the production OXA-58-like or OXA-24/40-like β-lactamase enzymes. We analysed plasmids carrying blaOXA-24/40-like gene CRAb isolates obtained decade apart.
The in-vitro antifungal susceptibilities of nine isolates belonging to Basidiobolus spp. and seven Conidiobolus against six antifungals (amphotericin B, ketoconazole, miconazole, itraconazole, fluconazole flucytosine) were tested. A broth microdilution method, generally following the NCCLS guidelines, was used. Inoculum concentrations order 100 cfu/mL obtained by culturing fungi in a medium (Czapeck supplemented with 2% Tween 80 0.07% agar). MICs MFCs highly variable isolate-dependent,...
ABSTRACT In the treatment of disseminated Fusarium infections, amphotericin B either alone or in combination with flucytosine and rifampin is drug therapy most frequently used. The efficacy these antifungal drugs was evaluated a murine disseminated-infection model, five strains solani . All treatments were clearly ineffective.
ABSTRACT MICs and minimum fungicidal concentrations of amphotericin B, miconazole, itraconazole, ketoconazole, fluconazole, flucytosine against 17 isolates Scopulariopsis spp. were determined by a broth microdilution method. All the resistant to flucytosine, ketoconazole low for only few.
Three different methods were used to determine the in vitro activities of amphotericin B, ketoconazole, itraconazole, and flucytosine against 30 isolates genera filamentous fungi. MICs determined visually, with or without agitation, spectrophotometrically by using a broth microdilution method. For there was one end point reading criterion (the minimum concentration antifungal that inhibited 100% growth), but for azoles two concentrations 50 75% fungal growth, respectively) after 48 72 h...
An experimental model of endophthalmitis by Fusarium solani in immunocompetent mice that could be useful for evaluating the efficacy different treatments and pathogenicity fungus ocular structures was established. Five clinical isolates F. were injected into lateral tail vein groups 20 mice, order to produce systemic infection with infection. Inocula 5 x 10(6) conidia per mouse used. The eyes animals died enucleated histopathological study determine degree We found fungal infections 34%...
ABSTRACT We have evaluated the in vitro activity of 15 combinations antifungal drugs (amphotericin B, itraconazole, voriconazole, albaconazole, ravuconazole, terbinafine, and micafungin) against four isolates Paecilomyces variotii three P. lilacinus . The interaction terbinafine with azoles was synergistic for 53% combinations, while interactions both amphotericin B micafungin rest agents were mainly indifferent.
We have determined the in vitro activities of amphotericin B (AMB), voriconazole, posaconazole (PSC), itraconazole (ITC), ravuconazole, terbinafine, and caspofungin against five strains Cunninghamella bertholletiae four echinulata. The best activity was shown by terbinafine both species (MIC range = 0.3 to 0.6 μg/ml) PSC 0.5 μg/ml). also evaluated efficacies PSC, ITC, AMB neutropenic diabetic murine models disseminated infection bertholletiae. at 40, 60, or 80 mg/kg body weight/day as...
