Aspergillus hubkae, a Novel Species Isolated from a Patient with Probable Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis.

A 50-year-old man, previously diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis and lung cavities, presented with symptoms including fever, shortness of breath, and cough. A pulmonary CT scan revealed multiple cavities, consolidation and tree-in-bud in the upper lungs. Further investigation through direct examination of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid showed septate hyphae with dichotomous acute branching.

Port implantation-related bloodstream infection caused by : A case report.

Background And Purpose: is a new opportunistic yeast previously named , which belongs to the order Saccharomycetales. Since its discovery, one environmental isolate of has been reported from Myanmar, and one clinical sample from Iran.

Case Report: We report a case of bloodstream infection related to an implantable venous access port.

Identification and genetic diversity of species recovered from the air of Ahvaz city, the Southwestern part of Iran.

The genus has pathogenic, endophytic, and saprobic characteristics. Alternaria genus causes respiratory diseases, fungal allergenicity and the production of mycotoxin in food. Ahvaz city is one of the areas where the presence of dust and high humidity cause the growth and spread of fungal species in the air.

Time and cost-efficient identification of Trichophyton indotineae.

Background: During the past 5 years, an outbreak of recalcitrant dermatophytosis due to a novel Trichophyton species generally resistant to terbinafine, T. indotineae, has spread out from South Asia to many countries around the World. These isolates cannot be reliably differentiated from other Trichophyton spp.

Efficiency studies of modified IFAS-OSA system upgraded by an anoxic sludge holding tank.

An upgraded integrated fixed-film activated sludge-oxic settling anoxic (IFAS-OSA) system is a new technology for reducing nutrients and excess sludge. The results showed that the average TN removal efficiency of the IFAS-OSA system was gradually increased up to 7.5%, while the PO-P removal efficiency increased up-to 27%, compared with that of the IFAS system.

Genotypic diversity of Iranian Cryptococcus neoformans using multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and susceptibility to antifungals.

Cryptococcus species is an opportunistic yeast pathogen and classified into different molecular types according to typing techniques including multilocus sequence typing (MLST). The study aimed to investigate the genotypes of environmental Cryptococcus isolates using MLST and the relationship between the in vitro antifungal susceptibility and sequence types of isolates. Genotyping Cryptococcus isolates was performed by the MLST method at seven nuclear loci.

Antifungal susceptibility profiles of otomycosis etiological agents in Ahvaz, Iran.

Background And Purpose: Otomycosis is a secondary ear fungal infection among predisposed individuals in humid conditions. species are the most common etiologic agents of this infection. Several ototopical antifungals are currently used for the treatment of this disease; however, recurrence and treatment failure are usually observed in some cases.

In vitro antifungal susceptibilities of six antifungal drugs against clinical isolates according to EUCAST.

Background And Purpose: is the second cause of candidiasis. The mortality rate of infections is about 40%; accordingly, it may be life threatening, especially in immunocompromised hosts. Regarding this, the current study was conducted to evaluate the regional patterns of the antifungal susceptibility of clinical isolated from the patients referring to the health centers located in Ahvaz, Iran.

Relationship between environmental Fungi and changes in lung function indices of new referral allergic patients in Ahvaz city under normal and dust conditions.

Background: Aim of this study was to determine whether any specific fungal spores could be responsible for changes observed in lung function indices.

Materials And Methods: 1042 new allergic patients were selected from July 2017 to May 2018 in Ahvaz City, Iran. Fungal samples were collected in normal and dusty condition within 5 and 2 min, respectively.

Microsatellite Typing and Antifungal Susceptibility of Strains Isolated From Patients With Vaginitis.

Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a yeast infection with a global reach and millions of dollars are spent annually for its diagnosis and treatment. Recently, with different degrees of antifungal resistance has been considered as the second most common cause of vaginal infections. The aim of the present study is to determine the antifungal susceptibility and molecular epidemiology profiles of isolates from patients with VVC.

Antifungal Susceptibility Patterns of Candida Species Recovered from Endotracheal Tube in an Intensive Care Unit.

Aims. Biofilms formed by Candida species which associated with drastically enhanced resistance against most antimicrobial agents. The aim of this study was to identify and determine the antifungal susceptibility pattern of Candida species isolated from endotracheal tubes from ICU patients.

Biofilm Formation and Susceptibility to Amphotericin B and Fluconazole in Candida albicans.

Background: The ability of Candida albicans to form biofilms and adhere to host tissues and biomaterial surfaces is an important factor in its pathogenesis. One of the main characteristics of biofilms is their resistance to broad-spectrum anti-microbial drugs.

Objectives: In the present study the formation of biofilm by C.
