Posaconazole against Candida glabrata with Variable Susceptibility to Fluconazole
2008
We investigated the in vitro activities of posaconazole (POS), fluconazole (FLC), amphotericin B (AMB), and caspofungin (CAS) against four clinical isolates of Candida glabrata with various susceptibilities to FLC (FLC MICs ranging from 1.0 to >64 microg/ml). POS MICs ranged from 64 microg/ml; POS MIC of 0.5 microg/ml). FLC significantly reduced the kidney burden of mice infected with the S strain (P = 0.0070) but not of those infected with the S-DD and R strains. POS was significantly effective against all three isolates at reducing the kidney fungal burden with respect to the controls (P ranging from 0.0003 to 0.029). In conclusion, our data suggest that POS may be a useful option in the …

EV0515 ePoster Viewing Diagnostic/laboratory methods other than molecular Candida spp. infections after abdominal urgent surgery: comparative analysis of histologic data for which microbiological results were positive for Candida spp. V. Rodolico1, G. Gulotta1, L. Montana1, G. Salamone1, D.C. Paola1 1Department of Sciences for Health Promotion and Mother Child Care, Palermo, Italy Objectives: Microbiological identification is justified when the yeast is isolated from a sterile site, the potential clinical impact of identified isolates from non sterile sites such as intra- abdominal organs don’t help the clinicians to determine whether the strain isolate represents contamination, colonizatio…
Influence of Galvanic Microcells on Growth of Pathogenic Bacteria and Candida Yeast
2017
The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of electrodes on growth of pathogenic bacteria and Candida albicans yeast. In the study, following references bacteria strains were used: Staphylococcus aureus ATTC 6538; Enterococcus faecalis ATTC 29212 (V); Enterococcus hirae ATTC 105441 (VI) and yeast strain Candida albicans ATTC 10231 (C40). Microelectrodes were prepared by ALCOR Center. Estimation of the biocidal effect of electrodes was carried out by medium poisoning method. The assessment of adhesion to the surface was performed by a modified Hawser’s method. Presence of adhesion was assessed by SEM analysis. The highest inhibition zones were obtained for Staphylococcus aureus ATTC …
Candida ģints sēņu jutības pret antifungālajiem līdzekļiem noteikšana
2015
Bakalaura darbs tika izstrādāts LU Medicīnas fakultātē Mg. Sc. biol. Ivetas Līdumas vadībā. Bakalaura darbā ir analizēta Mikobakterioloģiskajā laboratorijā identificēto no klīniskajiem paraugiem izdalīto raugveida sēņu dati, ka arī pētīta sēņu paraugu jutība, pret antifungālajiem līdzekļiem (amfotericīnu B, itrakonazolu, flukonazolu). Sēņu sugas tika identificētas izmantojot mikroskopisko analīzi, ka arī veicot uzsējumus uz BBL™ CHROMagar™ barotnes. Lai noteiktu antifungālo jutību tika izmantota standartizēta disku difūzijas metode, izmantojot CLSI noteiktos kritērijus, kā arī lietojot E-testus tika noteikta MIC (minimālā inhibējošā koncentrācija). Jutība pret antifungālajiem līdzekļiem tik…

Global warming “heating up” the ICU through Candida auris infections: the climate changes theory
2019
The most enigmatic aspect of the rise of Candida auris as a human pathogen is that it emerged simultaneously on three continents, with each clade being genetically distinct. Although new pathogenic fungal species are described regularly, these are mostly species associated with single cases in individuals who are immunosuppressed.
Eksperimentāla modeļa izstrāde neisseria gonorrhoeae antibakteriālas rezistences noteikšnai
2019
Neisseria gonorrhoeae infekcija mūsdienās ir globāla problēma. Latvijā tā ir otrā visbiežāk izplatītā bakteriālā seksuāli transmisīvā slimība. Mūsdienās satraucošā N. gonorrhoeae rezistence pret antibiotikām tiek atzīmēta visā pasaulē, tā ir padarījusi ārstēšanu nekomplicētai gonokoku infekcijai vēl sarežģītāku, ar mazāk ārstēšanas iespējām nekā agrāk. Visu laiku ārstiem pastāv jautājums, kā efektīvāk un ar maksimālu precizitāti noteikt antibakteriālo rezistenci. Tehnoloģijas nepārtraukti attīstās, tāpēc, teorētiski, pētījumi ar silīcija dioksīda mirkodaļiņām un to mijiedarbību ar mikroorganismiem varētu būt nozīmīgi antibakteriālās rezistences noteikšanai. Darba mērķis: Eksperimentāli note…
