Background: Burn patients are at high risk of developing secondary invasive fungal infections due to their compromised skin barrier, extensive use of antibiotics, and immunosuppression.
Objectives: We investigated demographic characteristics and clinical factors associated with Candida infections in intensive care unit (ICU) burn patients, and the in vitro antifungal susceptibility of species of isolates.
Methods: A total of 353 burn patients admitted to three major ICUs of burn centers in Iran were evaluated between 2021 and 2023.
The global incidence of invasive fungal infections (IFIs) has increased over the past few decades, mainly in immunocompromised patients, and is associated with high mortality and morbidity. is one of the most common and deadliest IFI pathogens. Major hurdles to treating fungal infections remain the lack of rapid and definitive diagnosis, including the frequent need for invasive procedures to provide microbiological confirmation, and the lack of specificity of structural imaging methods.

The objective of the present study was to isolate and characterize dermatophytes from dogs and cats in Iran.
Method: From December 2022 to May 2023, skin and hair samples were collected from symptomatic and asymptomatic cats and dogs in Mazandaran, a northern province of Iran.
High Prevalence of Terbinafine Resistance Among Trichophyton mentagrophytes/T. interdigitale Species Complex, a Cross-Sectional Study from 2021 to 2022 in Northern Parts of Iran.

Article Synopsis
- * Among 647 positive cases, 280 were identified as TMTISG, primarily from tinea corporis and tinea cruris, with 14.3% (40 cases) showing resistance to terbinafine (TRB).
- * Molecular analysis revealed that most TRB-resistant isolates had mutations in the squalene epoxidase (SQLE) gene, particularly the PheLeu mutation, which appears
Background: The current study aimed to identify Iranian Nakaseomyces (Candida) glabrata complex species in the clinical isolates and determine their antifungal susceptibility profile.
Methods: In total, 320 N. glabrata clinical isolates were collected from patients hospitalized in different geographical regions of Iran.
