Mycotic keratitis in Mashhad, Iran: Predisposing factors, etiologic agents & clinical manifestation

Abstract

e119 was 1-4 g/ml for pentamycin, 1-2 g/ml for nystatin, 0.5-1 g/ml for amphotericin B and 1-32 g/ml for fluconazole. Some strains of C. glabrata and S. cerevisiae, and most strains of C. krusei were categorized as susceptible-dose dependent or resistant to fluconazole, according to the CLSI document (MIC > 8 g/ml). At concentrations)4 g/ml, pentamycin inhibited completely the growth of 100% of strains of all species tested, including those strains less susceptible to fluconazole (MIC range: 16-32 g/ml). Conclusion: Pentamycin exhibited potent in-vitro fungicidal activity against the yeasts that are frequently isolated in recurrent forms of vaginal mycoses and mixed infections, like C.

Clinical Study of Coexistence of Fungal Infections in Diabetic Foot Ulcers by 18s rRNA Gene Polymerase Chain Reaction

“…A study by Sujatha et al also indicated that fungal infection in DFU was higher among males than females; however, the association was also insignificant (p > 0.05) [10]. Another study by Raza and Anurshetru, 2017 and Fata et al, conducted on 100 and 120, repetitively, cases of diabetic foot ulcers demonstrated a high incidence of infection in males (71%) and (71.6%) than females (29%) and (28.4%) with significant p < 0.05 [4], [11].…”
