Background: One of the most common infections in women, especially during reproductive age, is vulvovaginal candidiasis, which can cause physical and psychological distress for patients. According to different reports, Candida albicans main etiological agent this infection. However, non-Candida species have arisen recently. Therefore, it seems that VVC, pattern species, changed. Objectives: In current study, researchers determined frequency Iranian female population. Methods: Five hundred...
Cryptococcus. magnus is a non-Cryptococcus neoformans species isolated from certain plants, soil, air, and arctic glaciers.This report describes case of 23-year-old Iranian female with pruritus vaginal irritation. Conventional tests molecular analysis the samples discharge were performed. The mentioned analyses revealed Cryptococcus as causative agent infection. minimum inhibitory concentration that this susceptible to itraconazole, fluconazole, ketoconazole, amphotericin B. patient received...
Free-living amoeba (FLA) are ubiquitously distributed in the environment. However, they also causative agents of opportunistic infections humans and other animals. A biofilm comprises any syntrophic consortium microorganisms which cells stick to each often a surface. Moreover, FLA have been detected various biofilms around world. Therefore, present study aimed check for presence samples from household Iran characterize them at molecular level. total 69 collected showerheads, kitchen areas,...
The aims of the current study were to determined present status CL in Shiraz City, identify causative species Leishmania and conduct phylogenetic evaluations detected parasites.This was conducted on 70 individuals with suspected that referred major health centers (Valfajr), Fars province, Iran, from Sep 2016 Jul 2017. DNA extracted cultured promastigotes PCR-RFLP performed using ITS1-rDNA gene.Overall, 39 male (55.70%) 31 (44.30%) female found be positive microscopically. All direct examined...
Purpose.Epidermophyton floccosum is an anthropophilic dermatophyte species, which one of the common causative agents dermatophytosis in different parts world. The aim present investigation was to evaluate genetic diversity E. strains isolated from Iran and define vitro susceptibility profiles seven antifungal drugs against these clinical isolates.Methodology. Forty 40 patients with were subjected DNA extraction PCR amplification ITS rDNA region using universal primers ITS1 ITS4. activities...
Candida parapsilosis is a non-albicans spp. associated with bloodstream infections in critically ill patients. Failure to treat it effectively due delay diagnosis often leads serious illnessess. The present research aimed investigate the antifungal activities of nanoparticles (NPs) against fluconazole-resistant C. strains. Ten strains were used from archived clinical isolates. Antifungal NPs examined based on Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (M27-A3/S4) guideline. morphological...
Background and Purpose: Cryptococcus. magnus is a non-Cryptococcus neoformans species isolated from certain plants, soil, air, arctic glaciers.
 Case report: This report describes case of 23-year-old Iranian female with pruritus vaginal irritation. Conventional tests molecular analysis the samples discharge were performed. The mentioned analyses revealed Cryptococcus as causative agent infection. minimum inhibitory concentration that this susceptible to itraconazole, fluconazole,...
Introduction: Fungal aerosols cause life-threatening infections in patients hospitalized critical wards. Antiseptics and disinfectants have broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against the living tissue inert surfaces microorganisms; hence, they an essential role controlling preventing nosocomial infections. This study aimed to evaluate vitro antifungal of benzalkonium chloride (BAC), chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX), sodium hypochlorite (SH) isolated fungal from hospital environment....
