A study conducted around Urmia Lake, Iran, investigated the impact of dust storms on fungal concentrations in air. Researchers collected samples over a year, analyzing variations during dusty and normal days. The average concentration was found to be 436.2 CFU/m3, with Cladosporium cladosporioides, Penicillium chrysogenum, iridis being most prevalent species. Notably, days averaged 967.65 which is 3.6 times higher than (267.10 CFU/m3). total 61 species were detected days, compared 45...
This study aimed to assess the effect of voriconazole (VCZ)-loaded nano-liposomes on biological activity and expression ERG11, CDR1, CDR2 genes in fluconazole (FCZ)-resistant Candida albicans. In this study, 5 resistant isolates C. albicans 3 susceptible clinical FCZ were scrutinized from 60 patients suspected candidiasis. The liposomal formulation VCZ was produced. After that, minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration (MBIC) testing performed percentage growth inhibition determined. Finally,...
Background: This study is an attempt to investigate the effect of nano-liposome containing voriconazole on voriconazole-resistant A. flavus strains one hand, and consider expression cyp51A MDR1genes, regarded as important genes involved in development resistance triazoles before after voriconazole-loaded nano-liposomes exert their effects, other hand.Methods: Strains isolated from patients were investigated susceptibility was determined. Next, having applied a slight modification thin film...
The present study was targeted toward investigating the effects of eugenol on Cryptococcusneoformans biological activity and Cxt1p gene expression.For purpose study, growth, urease, synergism activity, disk diffusion C. neoformans were assessed in eugenol-treated culture. minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determined by Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute M27-A3 method at a range 0.062-2 mg/mL. Subsequently, expression genes studied MIC50 using real-time polymerase chain reaction.The...
Neutropenia is the most important cause of life-threatening invasive fungal infections (IFIs). Here, we studied frequency and antifungal susceptibility profiles Candida species that colonized or caused among neutropenic patients with solid hematological malignancies.
Airway fungal infection is a severe clinical problem, especially in patients with compromised immune functions. Here, we examined the distribution and antifungal susceptibility profiles of agents isolated from respiratory tract symptomatic hospitalized pulmonary units.
