The aim of this study was to evaluate antifungal activity in a diverse group of chlorine‐containing xanthone and phenoxyethyl amine derivatives – and to select the most promising compounds for further studies. The antifungal efficacy of 16 compounds was tested with qualitative and quantitative methods against both reference and clinical strains of dermatophytes, moulds and yeasts. The disc‐diffusion...

Human pathogens belonging to the Nakaseomyces clade include Candida glabrata sensu stricto, Candida nivariensis and Candida bracarensis. Their highly similar phenotypic characteristics often lead to misidentification by conventional laboratory methods. Therefore, limited information on the true epidemiology of the Candida glabrata species complex is available. Due to life-threatening infections caused...

Abstract: Urinary tract infections caused by wide range of pathogens including gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria as well as fungi are a severe public health problem. The predominant causative agent of both uncomplicated and complicated urinary tract infections is Escherichia coli. In an era of increasing bacterial resistance to antimicrobial agents and a high prevalence of multidrug-resistant...

Background. The occurrence of clarithromycin resistance among Helicobacter pylori strains is a major cause of the treatment failure. Resistance to this drug is conferred by point mutations in 23S rRNA gene and the most prevalent mutations are A2143G and A2142G. The aim of the study was to evaluate the occurrence of A2143G and A2142G mutations in a group of H. pylori strains resistant to clarithromycin...
