Evaluation of Exoenzyme Activities, Biofilm Formation, and Co-hemolytic Effect in Clinical Isolates of Species Complex.

species complex is considered as important emerging pathogens and little is known about their pathogenicity factors and co-hemolytic activity with different bacteria species. The aim of this study was to determine exoenzyme activities, biofilm formation, and co-hemolytic effect of different bacteria species on clinical complex isolates. In total, 67 complex isolates consist of 63/67 and 4/67 were used in this study.

Molecular Characterization and In Vitro Antifungal Susceptibility of 316 Clinical Isolates of Dermatophytes in Iran.

Dermatophytosis is a common mycotic infection of the skin, nail, and hair, associated with major public health concern worldwide. Various species of dermatophytes show significant differences in susceptibility to antifungals. Here, we present the antifungal susceptibility of a large collection of molecularly identified dermatophyte isolates obtained from tropical region of south of Iran.
