Onychomycosis is a common nail problem, accounting for up to 50% of all nail diseases. The aim of the present study was to determine the species distribution based on the restriction fragment length polymorphism and susceptibility patterns of the causative agents of onychomycosis. This cross‐sectional study was conducted on nail samples collected from 257 patients suspected of onychomycosis during...
Cryptococcosis is a life‐threatening mycosis primarily occurring in adult patients particularly those with immunosuppression such as HIV infection/AIDS. The number of reported cases of paediatric cryptococcosis has increased in the last decade around the world, including China. However, current information on the characteristics of cryptococcosis in children, particularly the genotypic diversity and...
Background
The infection rate for dematiaceous fungi has increased rapidly over the most recent decades. However, the treatment for such infections has been lacking in empirical support with oral antifungal agents.
Objectives
To provide a better regimen for dematiaceous infections in future, the Sensititre YeastOne® colorimetric antifungal panels were used and compared with Laboratory Standards...
Background
Candida‐associated infections put a significant burden on western healthcare systems. Development of (multi‐)resistant fungi can become untreatable and threaten especially vulnerable target groups, such as the immunocompromised.
Objectives
We assessed antifungal susceptibility and explored possible influence factors of clinical Candida isolates collected from Austrian hospitals between...
Trichophyton schoenleinii is an anthropophilic dermatophyte usually causing tinea favosa. Only few studies have provided data on molecular epidemiology and antifungal profiles of this fungus due to its limited prevalence after 1950s. Forty‐nine strains from Asia (n = 27), Africa (n = 10), Europe (n = 10) and from unknown regions (n = 2) were analysed with amplified fragment length polymorphism fingerprinting...
Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a common infection of the genital tract affecting millions of women worldwide. Data on epidemiological trends of VVC in Greece are scarce. This study was undertaken to evaluate the prevalence of VVC among symptomatic women in Crete, Greece, identify the Candida species involved and determine their susceptibility to antifungals. Over a 6‐year period (2012‐2017), 10 256...
The sexual cycle of Candida glabrata is not known; however, genomic evidence is indicative of recombination among subpopulations and the genome harbours genes necessary for undergoing mating and meiosis, which may increase fitness. The relationship between specific mating type‐like (MTL) loci and antifungal susceptibility is not well understood in C. glabrata. We investigated different combinations...
